The Ottomans: Dissolving Images Book

The Ottoman Empire was a "mystery wrapped inside the enigma". This book aims to unravel the mystery in two ways.

The book also comes to terms with the West's expectations of the Ottomans. The author's aim is both to tell the story and offer some explanation. The book interprets the Ottomans, to make sense of a society that to Western eyes seemed feckless and utterly corrupt, cruel and craven by turns. It was frequently all of these things but not without reason or cause.Read More
