Read 2 times. Last read May 9, 2017 to May 11, 2017.
After a second reading, this book still amazes me with its eloquence, information and research. Love that Professor Madden could create one book that gives the history of Istanbul from the beginning - right through to current day. That is no mean feat when you consider the leadership, governmental, religious and empire shifts that have occurred during the last 1700 years or so... well done. Fascinating stuff. Might just read it again in a couple of months - its that good.
