You will also learn the truth behind the character of Vlad the Impaler and decide for yourself if he was a ruthless, bloodthirsty ruler or a politician, tactician, and national hero.

ストーリー
When we think of ancient Rome, the first notion that comes to mind is the one of the empire, followed by the image of a mighty emperor, his legions, colossal buildings, and the Gladiators (or the rhetoric and poetry, depending on your preferences). Some may recall the image of a “unified” Europe under a single sovereign - the emperor of Rome. However, Rome did not become remarkable at this considerably late phase. In fact, many historians see the history of Rome under the Emperors as a long, gradual decline. It was during the republic that Rome gained an empire.

The ancient Greek philosophers laid the groundwork for a whole new field of thought and study.

While the French Revolution was certainly centered around two lavish monarchs and an enlightened common class, there was so much more going on behind the scenes.

In this captivating history audiobook, you'll not only learn about heroic warriors in battle but you'll also discover the remarkable achievements made by the Vikings.

One of the most shocking things about the Persians is how quickly they went from an obscure, powerless, and nomadic tribe to an immense empire that spanned across western Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe. The rise of Cyrus the great, considered the father of Persia, in the seventh century BCE, filled the power vacuum caused by the fall of the Assyrians, and it led to the formation of one of the most powerful empires of the ancient world.

Reads like a wikipedia Article
Its mostly focused on the ruling family of the Empire and the intrigues with other family members. You would think in 800 years of the Ottoman Empire, the Osmans were the only people that lived in it. That itself wouldn't be too bad, but he just kind skims everything. Its like he wrote this book by copying Wikipedia.

Disappointed
The context with the first few sultans was pretty good, then the quality of content dropped off the radar, in my opinion. I was disappointed that there was little (if any) discussion about why they went to war, or how the empire related to the rest of Europe or the region, The last half of the book just seemed like a recitation of names and dates. I did not come away feeling like I had any insight into why the empire collapsed.

A bit off mark in my view.
The book is off mark from it's stated intent, the author wanted to center the book around, but ended up doing it and therein lies it's problem. Very much of an English account of the history, although exposing the emptiness of the policies and thought behind them from political as well as military men of the empire, the book fails to tell a complete story. Still a readable book, though one will have to read other sources.

An Illuminating piece of work.
Captivating History's work draws from a wide variety of sources, approaching the issues from different perspectives. It clearly exhibits the fact that, on the contrary to the ex-post official histories, the policies for greater Turkey had developed almost haphazardly. Much of his comments regarding T.E. Lawrance refers to Desmond Stewart's biography of the latter, thus should be taken with some reservation. An absolute must for individuals interested in contemporary world politics.

An Extraordinary History
This is the best book I have read to date on the dynamics that marked the end of the Ottoman Empire and the construction of the modern Turkish, Professor Provence has added significant information to existing chronicles. He documents the role that the imperial powers played in shaping the "independent" countries of the former Ottoman provinces, showing that some of the current challenges that Syria and Iraq face in particular date back to this period. It is essential reading for anyone interested in both the period and the region.

A history of the Ottoman Empire which tells you nothing about the Ottoman Empire, read at breakneck speed. Ideal for anyone cramming for a test of dates and names of sultans, etc., but useless for anything else. (Am I the only person who finds the voice of the narrator really irritating?)

Original, superbly researched & enjoyable to read, this book links facts together clearly and in a way that brings them to life. It is essential for understanding the making of the modern Turkish in all its complexities. The author shows that while the culture, power & structure of the Ottoman Empire receded after the First World War it’s influence on regional history & politics continues to the present day.

Best history book about the area.
I've read a large number of pre WWI and WWI history books in my time but this is the first time the war has been diligently covered from the perspective of the Ottoman empire. It's a fascinating account of the dilemma the Turks faced on the eve of World War One, and the treatment of all sides - including the hapless civilians who were caught up in the hysteria and madness of the time - is even-handed and highly informative.
