An excellent review of #TheOttomans published in the @FinancialTimes by @DalrympleWill 'Like a swift Ottoman caique cutting through the Sweet Waters of Asia, Baer’s taut prose splices stereotypes and makes us think twice about long-held assumptions'.

'It was the intervention of the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II, who dispatched the Ottoman navy to evacuate the Jewish population, that brought thousands of Sephardic Jews to Istanbul and other Turkish territories.' Really? Ottomans sent ships to Spain in 1492?
