Turkey the Quest for Identity Review:

The Ottomans were a rare imperial people who had no homeland to retreat to as their empire waned in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Other imperial peoples had returned to various homelands: the British to their island base when they were forced to decolonize; the French to France, the Spanish to Spain, and so on. By the twentieth century, the Ottomans had no homeland for they had originated as tribal peoples who, for a variety of reasons, had been forced to migrate from the steppes of Central and Inner Asia and went in different directions. Some of these tribal confederations, including the ones who came to be known as Ottoman (Osmanl ) adopting the name of their leader, Osman (d.1324), migrated into the Islamic world and adopted Islam.

It is also one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with an estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war, while resulting genocides and the 1918 influenza pandemic caused another 50 to 100 million deaths worldwide.

Review Taj Mahal Book:

Taj Mahal . a Story of Love and Empire is a story of taj mahal history by Elizabeth Mann, This sad and romantic tale is as well-known as the Taj Mahal itself. It has been repeated for centuries by people all over the world. But the story of the Taj Mahal is larger, wilder, and more complicated. It begins in the tiny kingdom of Ferghana in the mountains of Central Asia. There, in 1483, a warlord was tending his pigeons in their roost that sat high on the wall of his fortress. Suddenly the ancient wall crumbled, and the roost toppled down. The pigeons escaped to freedom; the warlord fell to his death. His son Babur, just 11 years old, became the ruler of Ferghana. Rival warlords planned their attacks. An army led by a child seemed an easy conquest, but Babur was not an ordinary child. Babur was descended from two of the greatest conquerors the world had ever known, the Mongol tribal leader Chinghis Khan and the Muslim Turk Timur. In the 1200s, Chinghis Khan and his horsemen built an empire that stretched from the Pacific Ocean across Asia to Europe, and south to the Indus River in Hindustan (India). In the 1300s, Timur conquered most of Central Asia, then went on to plunder northern Hindustan.
