| 1. | History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey: Volume 2, Reform, Revolution, and Republic: The Rise of Modern Turkey 1808-1975
Paperback (548 pages) by Stanford J. Shaw (Cambridge University Press)
Reform, Revolution and Republic: The Rise of Modern Turkey, 1808-1975 is the second book of the two-volume History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey. It discusses the modernization of the Ottoman Empire during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the spread of nationalism among its subject peoples, and the revolutionary changes in Ottoman institutions and society that led to the Empire's demise and the rise of the democratic Republic of Turkey. Based on extensive research in the Ottoman archives as well as Western sources, this volume analyzes the external pressures, reform measures, institutional changes, and intellectual movements that affected the heterogeneous Ottoman society during the Empire's last century. It concludes with an analysis of contemporary Turkey's constitutional and political structures and principal domestic and foreign problems.

| 2. | The Ottoman Empire, 1300-1650: The Structure of Power
Kindle Edition (384 pages) by Colin Imber (Palgrave Macmillan)
This book surveys the history of the Ottoman Empire from its obscure origins in the early 1300s, through its rise to world power status and its subsequent 'times of trouble' in the seventeenth century. Drawing both on existing scholar-ship and research as well as original source materials, The Otto-man Empire provides a narrative of key events and examines the internal structure and politics of the Ottoman dynasty, revealing the growth and development of the power, politics, and institutions through which the Sultans ruled the Empire. The Ottoman Empire draws from a wealth of multiling-ual sources, many of which are previously untranslated, and presents a fresh view of one of the most important, yet mis-un-derstood, empires of the premodern age.
