Table of ContentsReviewsA Short History of the Ottoman Empire is a rare thing: a textbook that acquaints students with the broad outlines of the Empire's history while offering insightful commentary that engages with recent scholarship. Alive to the rich panoply of human - and non-human - experience of the Ottoman lands, this vividly illustrated book is a versatile and thoughtful guide to the Ottoman centuries. - Benjamin C. Fortna, School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies, University of Arizona Worringer has produced a substantial introduction to one of history's major empires. The book is notable for its scope, detail, and discussion of a variety of historical perspectives. Worringer has succeeded remarkably in producing a volume that is both accessible and expert. - A. Holly Shissler, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago Worringer succeeds at a very difficult task: condensing six hundred years of Ottoman history into a single, manageable book. Not only does this textbook give a clear, eloquent narrative of the history of the Ottomans, it also engages with the major historiographic debates in the field. This book is a superb choice for any survey course in Ottoman history. - Mark L. Stein, Department of History, Muhlenberg College """A Short History of the Ottoman Empire is a most welcome textbook. With analytical clarity and great didactic skill, Worringer critically helps students integrate Ottoman history into the context of early modern and modern global history.
