Great and bad

The narration of political history is great, although, heavily influences by European eyes. However the cultural and scientific narration is almost non existant, and presenta the Ottoman empire as barbaric and sub-human. This could not be further from the truth. I would recommend the book, under the warning of not listening to the unfair bashing the author lists against Ottoman culture.

Awful narration makes this book a chore

I’ve listened to about 3 audio books a month for years and this narration was one of the worst. I knew nothing about the subject and I was eager to learn, but this narrator made me long for the book to end. It was like Siri was reading it if Siri had a fake accent.

Lacks objectivity especially about Islam

Lacks objectivity especially about Islam and its commandments and principles. Aside from that analysis bias, the details of the historical events are good, though.

History of the Ottoman Empire

I am disappointed by this book as the author’s point of view is nothing but to give Ottomans’ a title of savage, violent, and unruly. There is a limit to lies that the author talks about the Ottomans. The golden age of Ottomans rule during which all people including Jews enjoyed freedom and prosperity. I will not istemal to such brutal lies. Please don’t read this book if you sincerely wanting to Get true information.

First published in 1854!

This book is more than a little out of date. I’m returning it to Audible
