Softcover. Condition: Good. Hook, Christa (illustrator). The Janissaries comprised an ?lite corps in the service of the Ottoman Empire. It was composed of war captives and Christian youths pressed into service; all of whom were converted to Islam and trained under the strictest discipline. In many ways, Jannisaries reflected Ottoman society, which was itself dominated by a military elite and where there was much greater social mobility than in Europe. On top of this, the Turks looked upon Europe much as the early Americans viewed the Western Frontier ? as a land of adventure, mission and opportunity. David Nicolle examines the history, organisation, weapons and uniforms of these ?lite Turkish troops.

First Edition
Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. Christa Hook (illustrator). Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 7.25 inches by 9.75 inches. 64 pages. Illustrated front cover. Illustrations (some in color). Map. Notes on the Plates. Bibliography. David C. Nicolle (born 4 April 1944) is a British historian specializing in the military history of the Middle Ages, with a particular interest in the Middle East. David Nicolle worked for BBC Arabic before getting a Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh in year 1982. His Ph.D. is titled The Military Technology of Classical Islam. He lectured in World and Islamic art and architecture at Yarmouk University, Jordan. He was on the editorial board of the Medieval History Magazine. He is the author of numerous books on aspects of medieval military history, including many for Osprey. Christa Hook has worked as an artist and illustrator for over 25 years. Her work has been exhibited at the Mall Galleries and the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery, and ten of her paintings are on permanent display at the Marengo Museum, Italy. Since serving an apprenticeship with her father, the illustrator Richard Hook, Christa has built up an extensive portfolio of illustration work for publishers, television and museums. She has illustrated fiction and educational titles, fairy tales and children's stories, history and natural history books. But it is in the field of military history that Christa has built her strongest reputation, producing accurate and detailed reconstructions of battle scenes and figures, notably from the Ottoman Empire, Napoleonic period and the Peninsular War. Her work includes over 30 titles in Osprey Publishing's Men-At-Arms, Warrior and Campaign series. The Janissaries comprised an élite corps in the service of the Ottoman Empire. It was composed of war captives and Christian youths pressed into service; all of whom were converted to Islam and trained under the strictest discipline. In many ways, Jannisaries reflected Ottoman society, which was itself dominated by a military elite and where there was much greater social mobility than in Europe. On top of this, the Turks looked upon Europe much as the early Americans viewed the Western Frontier as a land of adventure, mission and opportunity. David Nicolle examines the history, organization, weapons and uniforms of these élite Turkish troops. A janissary (lit. 'new soldier') was a member of the elite infantry units that formed the Ottoman Sultan's household troops. They were the first modern standing army, and perhaps the first infantry force in the world to be equipped with firearms; adopted during the reign of Murad II. The corps was established either under Sultans Orhan or Murad I, and dismantled by Mahmud II in 1826. Janissaries began as elite corps made up through the dev irme system of child levy enslavement, by which Christian Albanians, Bulgarians, Croats, Greeks, Romanians, Serbs and Ukrainians were taken, levied, subjected to forced circumcision and conversion to Islam, and incorporated into the Ottoman army. They became famed for internal cohesion cemented by strict discipline and order. Unlike typical slaves, they were paid regular salaries. Forbidden to marry before the age of 40 or engage in trade, their complete loyalty to the Sultan was expected. By the seventeenth century, due to a dramatic increase in the size of the Ottoman standing army, the corps' initially strict recruitment policy was relaxed. Civilians bought their way into it in order to benefit from the improved socioeconomic status it conferred upon them. Consequently, the corps gradually lost its military character, undergoing a process that has been described as "civilianization". The janissaries were a formidable military unit in the early centuries, but as Western Europe modernized its military organization and technology, the janissaries became a reactionary force that resisted all change. Steadily the Ottoman military power became outdated, but when the janissaries felt their privileges were being threatened, or outsiders wanted to moderniz.
