Publisher's Summary

The Ottoman Empire has long exerted a strong pull on Western minds and hearts. For over 600 years the empire swelled and declined, rising from a dusty fiefdom in the foothills of Anatolia to a power which ruled over the Danube and the Euphrates with the richest court in Europe. But its decline was prodigious, protracted and total.

A good introduction to Ottoman history.

A well written history of the Ottoman Empire. Carefully avoiding a western bias against this Great Empire. I would have appreciated if grand overall themes were discussed in more detail. Somewhat sleepy vocal presentation.
