The Ottoman Empire 1326–1699 (Essential Histories, 62) Review: Five Stars - GREAT BACKGROUND INFORMATION REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND LEIRGER PICTURE THEN AND NOW Review: A Clear Look At Over 300 Years Of History - This is another great book in the Essential History series. One point that sticks out is that Stephen Turnbull clearly and concisely pulled together over 300 years of Ottoman history. The obvious shortcoming is the fact that many battles are given only a brief description. The reader is left wanting more. Given the size limitation of Osprey books, however, there is really no way to overcome this minor shortcoming. If more attention were given to one battle, then something else would have to be taken out. The book contains some notable bits of information that the average reader will find fascinating. The activities of Vlad Dracul, the Impaler, are particularly interesting. The author does a splendid job of describing the real life activities of the man who became the literary inspiration for Count Dracula, the vampire. The history of the Empire is told in chronological order. Thus, it is easy to follow. The author also expands on certain topics by devoting two chapters to a Serbian janissary and a civilian Grand Vizier. This adds a unique perspective and prevents the book from becoming nothing more than a list of battles. Bottom line: the author achieved his goal of writing a brief account of the Ottoman Empire, its battles, and the associated political motivations. This is no small feat given the expansive period covered. The book is a great reference on a part of history that is rarely taught in school. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1841765694 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,434,838 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #188 in Turkey Travel Guides #433 in Turkey History (Books) #2,783 in Military Strategy History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (44) | | Dimensions | 6.65 x 0.3 x 9.7 inches | | Edition | Marshall Cavendish and Revised ed. | | ISBN-10 | 9781841765693 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1841765693 | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | October 22, 2003 | | Publisher | Osprey Publishing | ## Images ![The Ottoman Empire 1326–1699 (Essential Histories, 62) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91riHU3H-7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by G***E on April 6, 2015* GREAT BACKGROUND INFORMATION REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND LEIRGER PICTURE THEN AND NOW ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Clear Look At Over 300 Years Of History *by M***H on June 15, 2006* This is another great book in the Essential History series.
