Description: "The Civil War of 1402-1413 is one of the most complicated periods in Ottoman history. This book is the first full-length study of that chapter in history, which began with Timur's dismemberment of the early Ottoman Empire following his defeat of Bayezid 'the Thunderbolt' at Ankara (1402). This book is a detailed reconstruction of events based on available sources, as well as a study of the period's political culture as reflected in its historical narratives."--BOOK JACKET.
