A very readable, unique and solid book. > > _The Wall Street Journal_ The Ottoman Empire has often been portrayed as the Islamic antithesis of Christian Europe. But this new reference work presents a different picture, the picture of a kingdom that blended East and West, a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious empire. The Ottoman rulers saw themselves as heirs to the ancient Roman emperors. From nomadic chieftains to a global empire – this is the story of the entire fascinating history from the 13th century to 1923. How the empire was formed from Turkish, Mongol, Islamic, and Byzantine contexts, and how it influenced Europe and the world. But it is also the story of how early experiments with tolerance and secularism turned into exclusion and genocide. From the ruins of the fallen giant, the nation of Türkiye has risen. >The book provides a great overview of its history. _We Magazine_ A fascinating, engaging and refreshing new history – beautifully written and full of fascinating characters and analysis – that puts the dynasty where it belongs: at the heart of European history.
