This is a decent survey of Ottoman history. In many ways, this is traditional history from above, mainly a political history concentrating on the ups and downs of the reigns of the Ottoman Sultans. The author does well in constructing the basic narrative, covering centuries of Ottoman history in solid prose

I love hearing the stories about Suleiman the Magnificent. What an amazing but also difficult life. A little light on specifics in some parts, but otherwise, a good companion when traveling...kept my attention. The narrators were easy to listen to and brought life to the stories.

Very True

The book explains the history, administration and social life of the Ottoman Empire during this time masterfully in separate sections. An appendix of terms in Turkish and Ottoman is provided at the back for quick explanations, since the historical matter is rather heavy for a lay person.

Simply Amazing
