excellent history

Ottoman Empire was the most captivating history I ever read on studied. I will listen again and again.

Lovely Description

This is a decent survey of Ottoman history. In many ways, this is traditional history from above, mainly a political history concentrating on the ups and downs of the reigns of the Ottoman Sultans. The author does well in constructing the basic narrative, covering centuries of Ottoman history in solid prose

Mind Blowing

A good historical reference book for Middle Eastern History, especially to get a true understanding of the Ottoman's Empire building brilliance between 1300-1600.

Love the story of Suleiman the Magnificent

I love hearing the stories about Suleiman the Magnificent. What an amazing but also difficult life. A little light on specifics in some parts, but otherwise, a good companion when traveling...kept my attention. The narrators were easy to listen to and brought life to the stories.

Great Overview

This audiobook describes the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire from how each became Sultan to their impact on governance and lawmaking through their military victories and defeats.

Very True

I have some specific comments about the contents of the book, but for space considerations I will put them in a comment to this review.

Simply Amazing

The book explains the history, administration and social life of the Ottoman Empire during this time masterfully in separate sections. An appendix of terms in Turkish and Ottoman is provided at the back for quick explanations, since the historical matter is rather heavy for a lay person.

Pretty complete overview

Author was able to consolidate within few hours the most important facts regarding the subjects.
