'Perhaps the most readable history ever written' Time Out

Lords of the Horizons charts the Ottoman Empire's swirling epic history; dramatic -- detailed and alive -- a journey, and a world all in one.

The Ottoman Empire has long exerted a strong pull on Western minds and hearts. For over six hundred years the Empire swelled and declined; rising from a dusty fiefdom in the foothills of Anatolia to a power which ruled over the Danube and the Euphrates with the richest court in Europe. But its decline was prodigious, protracted, and total.

'A fascinating read... a perfect companion for anyone who visits Turkey and wants to make sense of it' The Times
