How did a nomadic tribe transform into a powerful empire that dictated its will across three continents? Historian Benjamin Fortney's book takes you on a captivating journey through the centuries: from Osman I to the golden age of Suleiman the Magnificent, from the labyrinthine court intrigues to the Turkish Republic. This is a story of great triumphs and fatal mistakes, told in an accessible and captivating manner.

The author recounts how Mustafa Kemal Atatürk built a republic from the ashes of a crumbling empire and the social upheavals the country endured on its way to today. This book provides a key to understanding the Turkish mentality and contemporary politics and serves as an ideal guide to the destinies of the great rulers and ordinary people who created one of the most vibrant and controversial countries in the modern world.
