Reviews

This book fills a formerly blank space in the history of Eastern Europe and the Near East.
*Reference & Research Book News*

…this account is written with intelligence, verve and a very deep knowledge of Ottoman history. It is a book to which military historians, as well as students of the Ottoman world, will surely return to again and again.
*Cornucopia*

There has long been a need for a military history of the Ottomans in Englishand Uyar (Turkish Military Academy) and Erickson (US Marine Corps) provide a very complete one…nothing better in a single volume.
