The Cambridge History Of Turkey. Volume 3: The Later Ottoman Empire, 1603-1839

摘要

Over a century after the first volumes appeared, the Cambridge History Series has begun to publish its long-awaited history of the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey. Volumes 3 and 4 (1840 to the present) have already appeared; Volume 1 (1071-1453) is due out in October 2008, and Volume 2 (1453-1603) appears to have no publication date as yet. An unfathomable editorial decision has dictated that these volumes be collectively called the Cambridge History of Turkey - with mention of the extensive state of which the modern Republic is but one of many heirs relegated to the subtitle in the middle volumes and omitted elsewhere.
