Reviews
On the background of earlier Ottoman-Safavid relations, Selim Güngörürler discusses how three key geographical areas and 17th century periods of diplomatic endeavors kept up the 1639 peace of Zuhab despite warlords’ frontier activities. Many hitherto unknown archival materials draw a detailed picture of the more peaceful attitudes of the two Islamic states towards each other. -- Claudia Römer, University of Vienna Güngörürler’s thorough research and balanced analysis make this book an essential contribution to the study of Ottoman and Safavid diplomacy, as well as to the broader field of early modern Middle Eastern history. By focusing on the bureaucratic and diplomatic mechanisms that underpinned the peace between the two empires, Güngörürler offers a fresh perspective on a relationship that has often been characterized solely by its sectarian and military dimensions. -- Ayşe Baltacıoğlu-Brammer, American Historical Review
