Reviews

'A display of unrivalled knowledge of the sources by one of the leading historians of the Ottoman Empire.' - Erik J. Zurcher, Professor of Turkish Studies at the University of Leiden


'A display of unrivalled knowledge of the sources by one of the leading historians of the Ottoman Empire.' (Erik J. Zurcher, Professor of Turkish Studies at the University of Leiden) 'A real pleasure...the main line of the argument is entirely convincing. Artisans of Emipre is learned and informative, written with evident mastery of lots of empirical material.' (Marcel van der Linden, Research Director of the International Institute of Social History, University of Amsterdam)
