The Ottoman Empire was one of the most powerful empires in history, known for its military prowess, multi-cultural make-up, and advances in art and architecture. Positioned at the crossroads of East and West, at its height it encompassed most of Southeastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. In existence from the late 13th century until 1922, the Ottoman legacy can still be felt today throughout the Balkans and the Arab world in the areas of politics, diplomacy, education, language, and religion. This comprehensive volume is a valuable addition to world history curricula and adds a level of historical understanding to the current conflicts within the Western and Islamic worlds.

Review

“Kia (Central and Southwest Asian history, U. of Montana) offers an introductory survey of the political history of the Ottoman state from the final decade of the 13th century to the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. The state began in western Anatolia, he says, but grew to encompass vast territories and many peoples, each contributing to the
economic power and cultural richness of the empire.” ―Reference & Research Book News

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2021
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book. It was an excellent introduction to major events throughout the existence of the ottoman empire. At times, I thought the author moved a little to fast and didn't linger on topics long enough, but since I was only looking for an introduction, I was satisfied.

3.0 out of 5 stars Satisfies the basic criteria of history with some flaws
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2010
The Ottomnan Empire by Mehrdad Kia satisfies the basic needs of a reader, but who knows nothing about the last years of the Ottoman Empire. He starts off really well by explaining the formation of the Ottoman Empire. His explanation on the decline of the Ottoman Empire is also thorough and correct. However, as it gets to the 20th century, events that are very much important to the Empire do not get much-if any- coverage. For instance, in 1909, one year after the revolution Muslim extremists attempted a counterrevolution- this portion is mentioned in the book:as a result 20,000- 30,000 Armenians were massacred in Adana- this portion is not mentioned. As a result, it makes the reader feel as if it was a small skirmish, and not a large-scale massacre. Next, he's sources on the Armenian Genocide is very murky. Nearly all of his sources come from history revisionists.
Could've done a better job.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good overall sketch, best on 1700-1924.
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015
This is a good overall summary. It is not an easy read, and will require some discipline to finish. It has vast amounts of information and is well researched.

It's not really a military history and not really a political or social history but has aspects of all three, It is best on the period 1700-1924. It has a useful appendix of biographical sketches of important persons.
