| | | In this dazzling evocation of the Ottoman Empire's power, Goodwin explores how the Ottomans rose and how, against all odds, they lingered on for 600 years. In doing so, he also offers a long look back to the origins of problems that plague present-day Kosovars and Serbs. Photos throughout.
Annotation:
This history of the Ottoman Empire charts its rise in Asia Minor in the 13th century, its golden age under Suleyman I, its gradual decline, and its final collapse in 1918. The empire included parts of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This book was a New York Times Notable Book for 1999.
