History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey

History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey: Volume 1, Empire of the Gazis: The Rise and Decline of the Ottoman Empire 1280-1808 Author(s): Stanford J. Shaw Format: Book

Shaw's two volumes (second volume available here) are a good example of the kind of nationalist history so prevalent in the 2nd half of the 20th century. From the vantage point of modern Turkey, he is attempting to trace how Ottoman/Turkish history arrived at this outcome, and thus - particularly in the 2nd volume - predicates the "modernizers".
