This book is a precious gem in defense of the Ottoman Empire against the arrows of distortion and slander directed at it over the centuries, whether from the pens of some Arab historians influenced by political and intellectual rivalries or from biased Western writings. The author takes us on an in-depth historical journey, beginning with the origins of the Ottoman Empire, the lineage of its founders, and its great figures, up to the reign of Sultan Osman Ghazi, the founder of Ottoman glory and builder of the core of the empire. The book does not merely narrate events; it also presents the benefits, notable figures, and personalities associated with Constantinople, revealing the civilizational, geographical, and political dimensions that shaped this state's stature, presenting the reader with a different narrative that sheds light on the bright side of Ottoman civilization, far removed from falsehoods and slander. It is a book that opens before the reader an authentic window onto a glorious Islamic history that deserves to be read again.
