Paperback, very good condition, black & white photos, minor edgewear, corner tips covers lightly creased, faint browning pages, spine lightly creased. 315 pp. This book uncovers the reality of an empire, created by the 15th-century warlords of the Anatolian steppes, whose imprint can still be felt throughout the Middle East. The author examines the consolidation of Ottoman power, the dynamic multinational state constrained by hierarchy and protocol, and the slow path to reforms based only superficially on Western models.
