An empire can be born on a frontier. Stanley Lane-Poole traces the long, dramatic arc of the Turks from Anatolian beginnings to the making of an imperial centre, following the turning points that carried the Ottoman power across continents and into the imagination of Europe. Empires rise, cities fall, dynasties. Written with the momentum of a narrative history book and the authority of a seasoned historian, The Story of Turkey offers classic history nonfiction at its most readable: political ambition, statecraft, belief, and the hard calculus of conquest. Lane-Poole brings focus to ottoman empire history without losing the human scale, moving through the rise of the turks, the succession of turkish sultans and wars, and the shifting balance of power around the eastern Mediterranean. It is equally satisfying as a middle east history reference and as a Turkish history study guide, with clear lines of cause and consequence for anyone exploring the history of Anatolia, or the transformation from Constantinople to Istanbul. First issued in the celebrated Story of the Nations series, this unabridged classic edition remains a touchstone of English-language historical writing, and a distinguished public domain reprint for collectors of enduring scholarship. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
