Product Description
Suleiman the Magnificent, most celebrated of the Ottoman sultans, kept Europe at bay for nearly half a century. Known as "The Shadow of God on Earth," but also the expert politician and all-powerful despot, Suleiman ruled the state firmly with the help of his viziers. Since, he believed, God had invested him with power, he felt obliged to ensure justice and see to the well-being of his subjects. He extended the borders of the empire beyond what any of the Ottoman sultans had achieved, and yet it is as a lawgiver that he is remembered in the history of the Turks.

Soliman and the Ottomans May 4, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Andre Colt is type of writer that takes you to the middle action and life of the people he writes about. His style is very easy to read, and almost like telling stories. I enjoyed reading this book. He covers the whole life of Soliman from his birth to his death. The book also includes description of the Ottoman civilization. This is a good book if you want to read some thing easy to read, and basic about Soliman and the Ottoman history. However if you are familiar with the Ottoman history this book is not for you.
