Offers an overview of the Ottoman Empire's decline from the failure to take Vienna in 1683 to the abolition of the Sultanate in 1922 by Mustafa Kemal, after an upsurge of Turkish national pride. This book emphasises the challenges of the early twentieth century, when railways and oil fields gave new importance to Ottoman lands in the Middle East.
