Ottoman Warfare is an impressive and original examination of the
Ottoman military machine, detailing its success in Europe, North
Africa, and the Middle East. Focusing primarily on the evolution of
the Ottoman military organization and its subsequent impact on
Ottoman society in a period of change, the book redresses the
historiographical imbalance in the existing literature, analyzing
why the Ottomans were the focus of such intense military concern.
Several books have been written on the fiscal, technological,
tactical, and political dimensions of Ottoman military history;
little has been attempted, however, to recreate or evoke the
physical and psychological realities of war as experienced by
Ottoman soldiers. Rhoads Murphey seeks to rectify this imbalance,
favoring operational matters and providing a detailed study of a
number of campaigns: we are offered, for example, vivid
descriptions of life in the trenches with the diggers at Baghdad in
1638, who dug a total of five miles at 50 yards a day. Murphey's
analysis does not focus on the Ottoman's success or failure in
particular campaigns per se; he focuses on understanding the actual
process of how the Ottoman military machine worked. This
long-awaited work will become the definitive study of Ottoman
warfare in the early modern period, and will be invaluable to those
studying the Ottoman Empire and early modern European history in
general.
