Description
Turkey: A Short History by Norman Stone is a concise, engaging narrative covering Turkey’s evolution from the arrival of the Seljuks in the 11th century to the present-day Republic. Stone—an Oxford professor who lived in Turkey—paints vivid portraits of key periods, from the zenith of the Ottoman Empire under Süleyman the Magnificent to its long decline and the transition to Atatürk's modern state . With sharp insight and a touch of wit, he explores Turkey’s shifting identity, located at the crossroads of East and West, religion and secularism.
