The story of the Kayı tribe continues in Prof. Dr. Ahmet Şimşirgil’s unique style. With the book KAYI IX: The Beginning of the End, Şimşirgil takes the reader on a journey through the years the Ottoman Empire spent on the razor’s edge. He conveys to the reader Sultan Mahmud II’s efforts to re-establish central authority, Sultan Abdülmecid’s endeavors to revive the empire through reforms, the national stance that rose anew under Sultan Abdülaziz, and the realities of Sultan Murad V’s reign.
