An “arresting” (New York Times Book Review) revisionist history demonstrating how Islam and the Ottoman Empire made our modern world. The history of the Ottoman Empire—once the most powerful state on earth, ruling over more territory and people than any other world power—has for centuries been distorted, misrepresented, and suppressed in the West. With this “original and wide-ranging” (Wall Street Journal) global history, Alan Mikhail vitally recasts the Ottoman conquest of the world through the dramatic biography of Sultan Selim I (1470–1520). Drawing on previously unexamined sources, and upending prevailing shibboleths about Islamic history and jingoistic “rise of the West” theories, Mikhail’s game-changing account radically transforms our understanding of the importance of Selim’s Ottoman Empire in the annals of the modern world.

The father of the legendary Ottoman sultan Suleyman the Magnificent, Selim I ("The Grim") set the stage for centuries of Ottoman supremacy by doubling the size of the empire. Conquering Eastern Anatolia, Syria, and Egypt, Selim promoted a politicized Sunni Ottoman* identity against the Shiite Safavids of Iran, thus shaping the early modern Middle East. Analyzing a wide array of sources in Ottoman-Turkish, Persian, and Arabic, H. Erdem Cipa offers a fascinating revisionist reading of Selim's rise to power and the subsequent reworking and mythologizing of his persona in 16th- and 17th-century Ottoman historiography. In death, Selim continued to serve the empire, becoming represented in ways that reinforced an idealized image of Muslim sovereignty in the early modern Eurasian world.

Sultan Selim I was an extraordinary sultan who virtually re-established the Ottoman state. This work relates his approach to developments in his time with an objective style and comparative analysis. It is an important reference for those who seek serious information about the period in which he lived. The book focuses on the life of Sultan Selim I: his childhood, princedom, struggle for power, sultanate, approaches to matters with the East, his struggle with Shah Ismail, his first and second campaigns to the East, and period of caliphate from many aspects. This notable work, which almost leaves no dark point about the period, is the fruit of a praiseworthy study.

This first of a five-book historical series is devoted to the deeds of Sultan Selim I, the so called Selim the Grim by the Westerners, or Selim the Just by his subjects. Selim had Alexander the Great as a role model. With the help of the Janissary Corps he forced his father Bayezid to abdicate because he was religious and peaceful. Immediately after the coronation of Selim I in 1511, his deposed father died suddenly on his way to Edirne possibly by poisoning. Thereafter, Selim's older brothers Ahmet and Korkut were strangled together with their six sons, as well as Selim's three of his four legal sons, keeping alive only one, Suleiman.With his diplomatic skills Selim managed to unite the Turcoman and Tatar tribes under his banner. Then, he achieved a decisive victory over the Shah Ismail of Persia in the battle of Chaldiran in 1514, crushing the superior enemy cavalry with his artillery. Subsequently, he attacked the second major military power in Middle East, the Mamelukes of Egypt, winning several battles, conquering within a year all the major cities Aleppo, Damascus, Jerusalem and Gaza. The next year 1517 he crossed the Sinai Desert in thirteen days, and crushed the Mamelukes at Giza in front of the gates of Cairo, putting an end to the Mameluke dynasties that dominated the Middle East since the Crusades. As a result of the Egyptian conquest, Selim became the master of Mecca and Medina and the Caliph and Protector of Islam. In this dramatic historic background, the events related to the beginning of a long friendship between an Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent and a remarkable Greek slave, Pargali Ibrahim are narrated freely on the basis of the existing vague historic outline. Considering the powerful people involved in these important events and the various national interests, there has been an effort by historians to whitewash many personal details that could be embarrassing if they ever became known. Moral standards and ethics change considerably in time; so discretion is critical before passing judgment.The author feels that from the very beginning of the narration the reader should also be aware that in the Ottoman Empire founded on the ruins of the Eastern Roman Empire the Sultan had the right to impose any kind of penalty he saw fit on his non-Muslim subjects. Only on Muslims he was obliged to seek the permission of religious authorities according to the Islamic Law. Thus, non-Muslim subjects called "raya" were basically what we call slaves in the modern West. Slaves had to follow orders or be punished severely to become examples other slaves should not follow. Slaves were also not allowed to ride horses. It goes without saying that the change of faith from Christian or Jewish to Muslim became a wide spread phenomenon in the Ottoman Empire.On the other hand, Muslim law prohibited any harsh punishments of slaves without reason and Ottoman state reworded slaves of exceptional abilities. It is characteristic that the highest administration offices, comparable to Prime Ministers, or Governors were traditionally given to ex-slaves of higher education or rare talents after they converted to Islam as the Ottoman state continued the Roman tradition of appointing eunuchs in high positions, because the lack of offspring removed one of the main reasons for embezzlement of state funds.Muslims were not allowed to castrate slaves so only Christians or Jews performed this risky operation. There is historical evidence Selim Khan was very fond of a eunuch his Grand Vizier Hadim Sinan Pasha who died during the battle of Giza. Selim Khan, being such a overwhelming personality, had great influence on the life of his son Suleiman, so without covering part of Selim's life the reader may not make sense of many of his son's actions. However, his mother Hafsa Hatun had also significant effect on his character the same way King Philip and Olympias affected Alexander the Great's behavior adding violence to the mixture.

The Ottoman Empire was a hub of flourishing intellectual fervor, geopolitical power, and enlightened pluralistic rule. At the helm of its ascent was the omnipotent Sultan Selim I (1470-1520), who, with the aid of his extraordinarily gifted mother, Gülbahar, hugely expanded the empire, propelling it onto the world stage. Aware of centuries of European suppression of Islamic history, Alan Mikhail centers Selim's Ottoman Empire and Islam as the very pivots of global history, redefining such world-changing events as Christopher Columbus's voyages - which originated, in fact, as a Catholic jihad that would come to view Native Americans as somehow "Moorish" - the Protestant Reformation, the transatlantic slave trade, and the dramatic Ottoman seizure of the Middle East and North Africa. Drawing on previously unexamined sources and written in gripping detail, Mikhail's groundbreaking account vividly recaptures Selim's life and world. An historical masterwork, God's Shadow radically reshapes our understanding of a world we thought we knew.A leading historian of his generation, Alan Mikhail, Professor of History and Chair of the Department of History at Yale University, has reforged our understandings of the past through his previous three prize-winning books on the history of Middle East.

Ottoman naval technology underwent a transformation under the rule of Sultan Selim III. New types of sailing warships such as two- and three-decked galleons, frigates and corvettes began to dominate the Ottoman fleet, rendering the galley-type oared ships obsolete. This period saw technological innovations such as the adoption of the systematic copper sheathing of the hulls and bottoms of Ottoman warships from 1792-93 onwards and the construction of the first dry dock in the Golden Horn. The changing face of the Ottoman Navy was facilitated by the influence of the British, Swedish and French in modernising both the shipbuilding sector and the conduct of naval warfare. Through such measures as training Ottoman shipbuilders, heavy reliance on help from foreign powers gave way to a new trajectory of modernization. Using this evidence Zorlu argues that although the Ottoman Empire was a major and modern independent power in this period, some technological dependence on Europe remained.
