About
A Military History of the Ottomans: From Osman to Ataturk presents an Ottoman and Turkish perspective on the rise of the Ottoman military as an effective institution. The book, which revises and corrects prevailing Eurocentric accounts, focuses on the revolutions in military affairs and transformations that enabled the Ottomans to field an effective fighting machine. It offers a chronological overview of the development of the Ottoman military as an effective military institution from the 1300s through World War I, filling a void in our understanding of why the Ottomans, with a multiethnic peasant empire, were able to field one of the modern world's most effective military systems.
