    I’m currently reading Turkey, A Short History by Norman Stone and finding it to have too many flaws to enjoy. The author presupposes you have a certain working knowledge of the subject matter, is prone to tangents and could really use a better editor.

    What I do like about the book is that it starts in antiquity with a brief discussion of Turks as nomadic tribes. I’ve come across several books that skip straight to the ottomans but I’d prefer a fuller picture.

    Does anyone have recs for a better option?
