SULTANS OF ROME: The Turkish World Expansion
The Turks originated in Asia but Constantinople was conquered from the west not the east: the Ottomans became a European power before they became a Middle Eastern one and remained a primarily European power. Few people combine so thoroughly the legacies of Europe and Asia, East and West, the civilizations of Greece and Rome with that of Islam, the New East and beyond. 48 pages of color photos.
