Books by Bruce McGowan

Bruce McGowan's novel A Man of the World tells the story of an Austrian who finds himself enslaved in Istanbul amongst his former enemies, the Turks, but becomes captivated by this new world.

Little was known about the Ottoman ruling stratum in their long domination over South-eastern Europe until well into the twentieth century. In this 1982 book, Bruce McGowan presents material concerning this neglected area. His painstaking study of Ottoman records provides convincing analyses of economic, fiscal and demographic questions fundamental to our understanding of the region.
