Product Description

Review
Essential Histories are remarkably effective in presenting military events in the wider contexts of the new military history.

Product Description
The Ottoman Empire and its conflicts provide one of the longest continuous narratives in military history. They were never overthrown by a foreign power, and no usurper succeeded in taking the throne. This volume covers the rise of the Ottomans, and their early years of fighting for a foothold across the Bosphorus, before exploring the main campaigns and the part played by such elite troops as the Janissaries and the Sipahis. At its height under Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire became the most powerful state in the world - a multi-national, multilingual empire that stretched from Vienna to the upper Arab peninsula.

2.0 out of 5 stars Short and consise history with pictures, 11 Mar 2004

By	Gisli Jokull Gislason "Jokull" (Iceland) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Everything should be there but something is missing.

The Ottomans were for a time one of the greatest empires on earth, during the time when Europe was in her middle ages. They rose to power after the Christian Crusades and were for a time the greatest enemy of Christians. Their armies layed siege to Vienna twice and there fleet ruled a large part of the Mediterainian. And amongst the warriors of the time their Jannisaries were elite. Somehow this book fails to convay the majesty of the Ottomans and its cronological order is somehow difficult to follow. Funnily enough the pictures in the book normaly appear on the wrong page in context with the main text. In the few places it becomes interesting it stops short and leaves you loning for more. It does however present a skelital outline of the Ottoman Empire over the specific timeperiod in a fairly short book and could help in giving a wider prespective on Ottoman history. Sadly it just isn't very good.
