1.Byzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval EmpireByzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire
from Princeton University Press
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
Judith Herren's study of Byzantium is a quick jaunt into the stream of history for the novice or expert. Anecdotal but thorough, the book sweeps through more than a thousand years of history without pausing for tendentiousness. A fine book.

Andrew Mango has obviously done a great deal of research into his fascinating subject. The book is a thorough history of the life and career of Mustapha Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey.

4.Smyrna 1922: The Destruction of a CitySmyrna 1922: The Destruction of a City
from Newmark Press
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
This book has been popular, because no one independently checked the statements in the book. Many of the facts came from the papers of Admiral Mark Bristol, USN, in the National Archives. To that extent, the book is accurate. However, Ms. Housepian is an Armenian hater of Turks, and she created some... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
"Paul: A Critical Life" by Murphy-O'Connor is a very detailed book written for those seeking a very detailed account of his life and work. The book focuses a lot of attention to the historical aspects of Paul, rather than focusing on his theology. However, the book does discuss the developments in... more info

from Hyperion
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
The book is very well researched and practically reads like a novel, with varying descriptions of both sides of the engagement, as well as historical perspectives and analysis of events that led to the battle. My only complaint is that it felt too short, though that may be because it read so well.... more info

8.The Fall of Constantinople 1453 (Canto)The Fall of Constantinople 1453 (Canto)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $18.61

Customer Review:
Over five hundred years have passed since Constantinople became Istanbul. It is difficult to imagine the city was once a Christian metropolis known as the capitol of the Roman Empire in the East. Runciman tells the story of this city's last days before the Turkish conquest. The book does not aim to... more info

9.Ottoman CenturiesOttoman Centuries
from Harper Perennial
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
Unless you're an absolute Ottomaniac, this one-volume history of the great Turkish Empire should suffice to fill in the blank space where knowledge of this fascinating and important culture should be. Rivaling, if not surpassing, the Roman Empire in magnificence, domination, accomplishment,... more info
