Review (PDF) The Ottoman Empire: The Untold Story To Its Rise And Fall
The Ottoman Empire was a strong world power for over six hundred years beginning in the late 13th century. How did it rise from one man who was given charge of a small parcel of land to an empire that spanned three continents? Why did it begin to lose battle after battle, eventually reaching a point where it was beaten back by its enemies? Which sultans presented the empire with the tools for success and which destroyed the unity? What contributed to its demise? These questions and more will be answered through this book as the secrets of the Ottoman Empire are revealed. This book contains a description of the origins and basics about the population of citizens within the empire along with descriptions about each of the thirty-six emperors' personal rises and falls in their quest to better the empire. Additionally, the contributions the Ottomans made to their empire and beyond to other countries will be described along with the daily life of those within the palace and those without. Is there anything left today that came from the Ottoman Empire? Or did the Ottoman Empire simply disappear without a trace left to indicate it existed?

In just the fourth paragraph of the introduction the author mentions that the Empire left the world "some architectural and literary advancements. For example, the Hagia Sophia, a very famous mosque, was built by the Ottomans." Anyone with even a passing knowledge of architecture, or the history of Constantinople or the Roman Empire knows Hagia Sophia was built as a church under the Roman Emperor Justinian and consecrated in 537 AD centuries before the Ottoman Empire was founded in 1299. It stood as an architectural marvel and the largest church in Christendom until the Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453 and converted it to a mosque. There are many other historical inaccuracies, grammatical and editing errors and it reads as though English is not the author's first language.(e.g. "However, if a ruler comes in and lets the believe believe what they like, marry who they like..., the people will feel freedom.") I plowed through it anyway hoping I could at least some insight as to why the Ottoman armies were so successful in battle or something I didn't know or couldn't find in Wikipedia. There is some of this on offer here but I was left wondering if the explanations were valid or accurate because so much was off. For instance, the author states the paintings produced in the Empire "began to illustrate impressionism". Really? Also he mentions Murad III conversed with the leader of England about a possible alliance against Spain. Twice he says this is Catherine I, not Elizabeth I. I only gave this the 2nd star because if this is your introduction to the history of the Ottoman Empire you will at least learn some of the history and succession of Sultans but there are many flaws and very little, if any, insight. I don't know of one to recommend, but there must be several histories of the Ottoman Empire better than this one.
This book is one of the best if not the best as an introduction into the Ottoman history.I loved this product because I needed it for school and it was cost effective. there were no tears or any issues with it and I got it in a timely fashion. Great product! it def met my expectations. Also it was an interesting read. Helped me understand a lot that I had trouble with.highly recomended
It is a very detailed reference to the history of the Ottoman empire.What I found very quickly became an incredibly detailed and thorough history of the Ottomans for more than 600 years. If you wish to know much more about the details of the Ottoman Empire and love history, then I highly recommend this work.
