Reviews
"A meditation on a vanished world that hovers like an apparition over today's grim headlines." (The New York Times Book Review, front page) "Jason Goodwin's deftly written and beguiling history of the Ottoman Empire is particularly pertinent today, when the cauldron of ancient hatreds once more boils over, but his prose would be welcome at any time." (Robert Taylor, The Boston Globe) "May be read with pleasure and profit by everyone, not least the traveler headed east of Vienna and west of Bagdad." (Andrew Whiteside, The Wall Street Journal)

Synopsis
For six hundred years, the Ottoman Empire swelled and declined. Islamic, martial, civilized, and tolerant, it advanced in three centuries from the dusty foothills of Anatolia to rule on the Danube and the Nile; at its height, Indian rajahs and the kings of France beseeched the empire's aid. In its last three hundred years the empire seemed ready to collapse, a prodigy of survival and decay. In this dazzling evocation of the empire's power, Jason Goodwin explores how the Ottomans rose and how, against all odds, they lingered on. In doing so, he also offers a long look back to the origins of problems that plague present-day Kosovars and Serbs.
