5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderfull book on Ottoman Empire, August 27, 2009
This review is from: Istanbul and the Civilization of the Ottoman Empire (Centers of Civilization) (Paperback)
He is one of the leading western experts on Ottoman Empire. The book is organized and written beautifully. I believe anyone who wants to have a serious opinion of Ottomans HAS TO read this book.

Bernard Lewis looks at a picture and zooms in and out, April 15, 2003
This review is from: Istanbul and the Civilization of the Ottoman Empire (Centers of Civilization) (Paperback)
He wrote on Turkey for nearly half a century. He also wrote on Middle-East as well but his real expertise is Turkey I believe. in every book of his he zooms into a subject (Turkey) and tells the story like in his other books with more detail. So if you already read one of his books on Turkey or Ottomans you dont need to read this one.
