Storm on Horseback: The Seljuk Warriors of Turkey
“A timely and well-written work of popular history, Freely's book provides a crucial piece in the history of a very exciting time, telling a fabulous story which is not accessible elsewhere. One would never know how terrifically difficult a task he has accomplished. He makes it look easy and does so with great style and charm, seeing the big picture and writing with a novelist's eye for the telling detail.Storm on Horsebackwill make an important contribution; a public familiar with the Seljuks will be less likely to stand for politicians' distortions of Christian-Muslim history.”--Victoria Holbrook, author ofThe Unreadable Shores of Love“Storm on Horsebackis lucid and well-researched. It will be an indispensable companion for any traveller eager to be in touch with the glory that was Seljukid Anatolia.”--Professor Hakan Erdem, Sabanci University''‘Storm on Horseback’ is both a dramatic history and, uniquely, a traveller’s guide to the extraordinary heritage of the Seljuks in Turkey.’’--Abrar "Freely is a lover of all things Turkish . . . This is an original and useful format and it's refreshing to have a guide written by a former commando rather than the usual backpackers."  --Independent on Sunday(UK)
