Synopsis

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.
  • A close look at Abdul Hamid’s rise to power and his impact on centralizing authority
  • An analysis of reforms, military organization, and naval policy during his reign
  • Examination of the empire’s foreign affairs, internal administration, and treatment of subject peoples
  • Context for the events that led to his dethronement and the empire’s later evolution
Ideal for readers of historical biographies and those seeking a detailed view of the late Ottoman state and its rulers.
