It was perhaps the most cosmopolitan state in the world--and possibly the most volatile. \u003ci\u003eA Brief History of the Late Ottoman Empire\u003c\/i\u003e now gives scholars and general readers a concise history of the late empire between 1789 and 1918, turbulent years marked by incredible social change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Moving past standard treatments of the subject, M. S kr  Hanioglu emphasizes broad historical trends and processes more than single events. He examines the imperial struggle to centralize amid powerful opposition from local rulers, nationalist and other groups, and foreign powers. He looks closely at the socioeconomic changes this struggle wrought and addresses the Ottoman response to the challenges of modernity. Hanioglu shows how this history is not only essential to comprehending modern Turkey, but is integral to the histories of Europe and the world. He brings Ottoman society marvelously to life in all its facets--cultural, diplomatic, intellectual, literary, military, and political--and he mines imperial archives and other documents from the period to describe it as it actually was, not as it has been portrayed in postimperial nationalist narratives. \u003ci\u003eA Brief History of the Late Ottoman Empire\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the legacy left in this empire's ruins--a legacy the world still grapples with today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
