Focusing on the dramatic life of Sultan Selim I, this global history reexamines the Ottoman Empire's significant role in shaping the modern world. Alan Mikhail utilizes previously overlooked sources to challenge distorted narratives and misconceptions about Islamic history, as well as the traditional "rise of the West" theories. By highlighting Selim's conquests and their impact, the book offers a transformative perspective on the empire's historical importance and its extensive influence over vast territories and populations.
