Essential Histories: The Ottoman Empire 1326-1699The Ottoman Empire and its conflicts provide one of the longest continuous narratives in military history.

This volume covers the rise of the Ottomans, and their early years of fighting for a foothold across the Bosphorous, before exploring the main campaigns and the part played by such elite troops as the Janissaries and the Sipahis.
