A Brief History of the Late Ottoman Empire

Zusatztext "Historians and general readers embarking on an introduction to the Ottoman Empire could do far worse than to start with M. Sükrü Hanioglu's A Brief History of the Late Ottoman Empire . Concise, well-written, and narrative, it nonetheless successfully revises decades of misconceptions about the Ottoman Empire, creating a new model for our understanding of this long-lived system. The author presents several key arguments worth presenting. He encourages his readers to move beyond previous interpretations of Ottoman history, including the perception of the empire as a decrepit and dynastic straitjacket for nationalisms." ---Wayne H. Bowen, Canadian Journal of History Informationen zum Autor M. Sükrü Haniölu is the Garrett Professor in Foreign Affairs and professor of Near Eastern studies at Princeton University. He is the author of Preparation for a Revolution and The Young Turks in Opposition . Klappentext "Without doubt the best history of the development of political ideas in the late Ottoman Empire. Haniogluu situates this history of ideas in the context of the political and diplomatic history of the empire as well as in the history of European political thought, of which he demonstrates a deep knowledge." --Erik J. Zürcher, author of Turkey: A Modern History "A significant contribution, not only to the historiography of the late Ottoman Empire but also to the field of comparative studies of empires." --Fikret Adanir, coeditor of The Ottomans and the Balkans Zusammenfassung At the turn of the nineteenth century, the Ottoman Empire straddled three continents and encompassed extraordinary ethnic and cultural diversity among the estimated thirty million people living within its borders. This title offers a history of the late empire between 1789 and 1918, which were turbulent years marked by incredible social change.
