Description
An “arresting” ( New York Times Book Review ) revisionist history demonstrating how Islam and the Ottoman Empire made our modern world.
The history of the Ottoman Empire―once the most powerful state on earth, ruling over more territory and people than any other world power―has for centuries been distorted, misrepresented, and suppressed in the West. With this “original and wide-ranging” ( Wall Street Journal ) global history, Alan Mikhail vitally recasts the Ottoman conquest of the world through the dramatic biography of Sultan Selim I (1470–1520). Drawing on previously unexamined sources, and upending prevailing shibboleths about Islamic history and jingoistic “rise of the West” theories, Mikhail’s game-changing account radically transforms our understanding of the importance of Selim’s Ottoman Empire in the annals of the modern world. 16 pages of illustrations; 40 illustrations
