The Ottomans: Khans, Caesars, and Caliphs
Marc David Baer
This major new history of the Ottoman dynasty reveals a diverse empire that straddled East & West.
The Ottoman Empire has long been depicted as the Islamic, Asian antithesis of the Christian, European West. But the reality was starkly different: the Ottomans’ multiethnic, multilingual, & multireligious domain reached deep into Europe’s heart. Indeed, the Ottoman rulers saw themselves as the new Romans. Recounting the Ottomans’ remarkable rise from a frontier principality to a world empire, historian Marc David Baer traces their debts to their Turkish, Mongolian, Islamic, & Byzantine heritage.
The Ottomans pioneered religious toleration even as they used religious conversion to integrate conquered peoples. But in the nineteenth century, they embraced exclusivity, leading to ethnic cleansing, genocide, & the empire’s demise after the First World War.
The Ottomans vividly reveals the dynasty’s full history & its enduring impact on Europe & the world.
