History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey: Volume 1, Empire of the Gazis: The Rise and Decline of the Ottoman Empire 12801808 by Stanford J Shaw
This is the first book of the two-volume History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey. It sweeps away the accumulated prejudices of centuries and describes the empire of the sultans as a living, changing society, in which the sultan's subjects were able to carry on their lives, religions, and traditions with little outside interference.
