In 'DREAMS OF EMPIRE', Findley, a history professor at Ohio State, provides a comprehensive analysis of the Ottoman Empire's remarkable duration of six centuries.
The author attributes this longevity in part to Islamic practices that allowed men to have multiple wives, thereby ensuring a stable line of succession.
Findley's insights not only shed light on the political structures of the empire but also explore its cultural and historical impacts on the regions it governed.
