What Went Wrong? - Western Impact and Middle Eastern Response
de Bernard Lewis
For many centuries, the world of Islam was in the forefront of human achievement--the foremost military and economic power in the world, the leader in the arts and sciences of civilization. Christian Europe, a remote land beyond its northwestern frontier, was seen as an outer darkness of barbarism and unbelief from which there was nothing to learn or to fear. And then everything changed, as the previously despised West won victory after victory, first in the battlefield and the marketplace, then in...

Islamic Imperialism
de Efraim Karsh
From the first Arab-Islamic Empire of the mid-seventh century to the Ottomans, the last great Muslim empire, the story of the Middle East has been the story of the rise and fall of universal empires and, no less important, of imperialist dreams.

Lords Of the Horizons
de Jason Goodwin
The Ottoman Empire has exerted a long, strong pull on Western minds and hearts.
