'A provocative new history of the Middle East that in important respects is different from any one had read before. The Ottomans were around for a thousand years, the European portion of their empire for about half of that time. That the ramifications are still with us, so soon afterwards in the long view should not surprise. The Karshes' important book throws new, in places probing, light on many of those ramifications.'-Colin Walters, Washington Times. |
