Synopsis

This book presents readers with an in-depth look at Turkish rule as it has been applied over the course of history, beginning with the mid-13th century. It traces the development of the Ottoman Empire alongside the evolution of Turkish culture, customs, and religious beliefs. The author draws upon first-hand accounts written by foreign observers to give readers insight into the daily life, habits, and practices of the Ottoman people. The author's analysis of the centuries-long reign of the Ottoman Empire highlights an often-overlooked fact: Despite the empire's outward displays of strength and grandeur, it possessed significant internal weaknesses. These internal troubles contributed to the empire's gradual decline, a process that is examined here in detail. The insights offered by the author will be of interest to modern readers seeking to understand the Ottoman Empire's historical significance as well as the complexities of governance throughout the region and the world today.
