{"product_id":"gods-shadow-by-alan-mikhail","title":"God's Shadow by Alan Mikhail","description":"\u003cp\u003eGod's Shadow by Alan Mikhail is a sweeping work of history that places the Ottoman Empire, and Sultan Selim in particular, at the centre of the story of how the modern world took shape. Rather than treating the Ottoman world as a distant or peripheral power, the book presents it as a major force whose reach, ambitions and rivalries shaped politics, trade and religion across continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the Ottoman Empire in an age of far-reaching change, when established powers were being challenged and new connections were being drawn across Europe, Asia and Africa. Through this broader lens, it shows how Ottoman history is closely woven into the wider history of the early modern world, and why an understanding of the empire matters for understanding the world that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey themes explored in this book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ottoman Empire as a central power in world history, not a side story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSultan Selim and the leadership that shaped the empire at a pivotal moment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpire, rivalry and diplomacy in a changing international order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion, identity and power across a diverse, far-flung empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Ottoman history helps explain the making of the modern world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho should read this book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is for readers interested in Ottoman history, world history and the forces that shaped the modern era.
