Ali Paşa was the last of the Ottoman grandees who spent most of his life in the service of the sultan and served in the highest posts of the Ottoman government. As one of the most competent statesmen of the 19th century, he was able to understand the political affairs of his time more than his contemporaries. Shortly before his death, he presented a political testament to the sultan in which he gave a full account of his deeds as the grand vezir, difficulties and dangers the empire faced, as well as a future course of action to save the empire from its doom. His progressive ideas were condemned to obscurity until they resurfaced in 1910 in France, where his work was translated into French and published. This book presents an English translation of Ali Paşa’s political testament with an introduction on the political events of his time.

Reforming Ottoman Governance

The book is the history of reform attempts in the Ottoman Empire and the internal and external difficulties in implementing them. Imperialist aggression towards the Empire and bloody janissary revolts hampered the reforms, and although some successes in governance were achieved, there were many failures, and these contributed to the demise of the Empire at the end of the First World War.

The Ottoman Süryânî from 1908 to 1914

This work explores the misconceptions about the Ottoman Süryânî community of the pre-World War I era, using a critique of the present day historiography as the context for the discussion. The works of three early twentieth century journalists, provide the material for the study. The author contends that this group cannot be considered as Assyrian nationalists, the traditional argument, that they saw the future of the Süryânî people as best secured by the continuation of the Ottoman Empire, in which they sought a greater presence for their community.
