Reviews
“What makes this study so valuable is not just the inclusion of Ottoman sources but also the author's close examination of non-Ottoman, especially Russian, sources. Badem makes a major contribution to the study of the Crimean War.[…] Highly recommended.” R. W. Zens, Choice, October 2010
'Seeking to “reconstruct the narrative of the war as experienced by the Ottomans,” Badem examines the “conduct of the war itself … its implications, results, and impact upon the Ottoman state and society” (1). Badem’s book is the first monograph on the subject in any language that combines Russian and Ottoman sources and addresses Ottoman failures as well as successes.11 He devotes nearly onehalf of The Ottoman Crimean War to an analysis of major Ottoman battles, particularly the disastrous naval battle of Sinope in November 1853 and the extended campaign in the Caucasus. The book incorporates material from Ottoman Historical Archives (BOA), British National Archives (TNA), and RGVIA, as well as an impressive body of published primary and secondary sources'.
