Unabridged Audiobook
very informative read. The author knows his subject very well. Think he goes too far in some of his assumptions and how others were influenced by Ottoman actions
The book is worthwhile yet the author does straggles from Selim's story at times. It's a great supplement though, for anyone interested in European colonial and Ottoman expansion, as well as the times of Henry VIII, Francis I and Charles V or the era of Selim's son Suleiman the Magnificent.
Great book. Much info I was not aware of. For understanding western history this is book essential.
