Jumia Books Ottomans-II (1618–1922): Sultans of the Crescent Author: Prof. Dr. Ahmet Şimşirgil

Ottomans-II (1618–1922): Sultans of the Crescent by Prof. Dr. Ahmet Şimşirgil continues the sweeping narrative of the Ottoman Empire, capturing its evolution through centuries of reform, resilience, and eventual dissolution. This volume focuses on the empire’s later rulers, from Sultan Murad IV to Sultan Mehmed VI, offering a detailed account of their reigns, challenges, and contributions to Islamic governance and global politics.

Prof. Şimşirgil examines the internal and external pressures that shaped the Ottoman state during this period—military confrontations, administrative reforms, cultural transformations, and the rise of nationalist movements. The book also explores the empire’s spiritual legacy, its relationship with Islamic scholarship, and the enduring symbolism of the crescent in Ottoman identity.

The cover design, featuring an ornate Ottoman throne set against a dramatic cloudscape, evokes the majesty and solemnity of imperial rule. It serves as a visual metaphor for the weight of leadership and the fading glory of a once-dominant civilization.

This book is ideal for historians, educators, and readers passionate about Islamic empires, political transitions, and the rich tapestry of Ottoman heritage. Whether used for academic study or personal enrichment, Ottomans-II offers a compelling and authoritative guide to the final chapters of one of history’s most influential dynasties.
