Turkey. The Complete History

The Ottoman Empire emerged in the place of a small and not very powerful fief of Osman Gazi and lasted for nearly six centuries. During all this time, the empire was ruled by one dynasty. Thirty-four rulers governed it (either actually or nominally) - from Osman Gazi to the last Sultan Mehmed VI. Mustafa Kemal, known as the Father of the Nation – Atatürk – is revered alongside Osman Gazi, Mehmed the Conqueror, and Suleiman the Lawgiver. How did a small state manage to become one of the most powerful empires in the world? The answer can be found in this book.
