Mehmed the Conqueror and His Time by William C Hickman
From the famous siege of Constantinople in 1453 through the numerous other campaigns that securely established the Ottoman Empire, this title covers various events in the life of the emperor Mehmed II.
"Fascinating.. From the Western viewpoint, Mehmed was seen as the man who gave the death blow to Byzantium, destroying the last vestige of the Eastern Roman Empire. Not surprisingly, the Turks regard him as the greatest of all sultans, a figure unparalleled in the history of the world for military prowess, statecraft, patronage of the arts and sciences."--Robert Kirsch, The Los Angeles Times Book Review
