Abdul Hamid: The Sultan and the State is a sharply drawn political biography that examines how one ruler’s drive for central power reshaped the late Ottoman Empire, for better and for worse.
Sir Edwin Pears surveys Abdul Hamid’s long reign to explain how personal rule and bold tactics altered Turkey’s path and the region’s history.
This edition presents a compelling portrait built from the era’s records and events. It traces the deterioration and the attempts at reform, the shift from minister-led governance to concentrated authority, and the consequences for the empire’s military, administration, and foreign relations. The book also looks at how policy decisions affected subjects inside the empire and Turkey’s standing abroad, offering a clear lens on a pivotal period.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life of Abdul Hamid II, an oppressive Sultan who ruled the Ottoman Empire during one of its most turbulent periods.

The book explores the Sultan's role in the Armenian Massacres and his systematic suppression of dissent, shedding light on his complex and troubled psyche.
