The Ottoman conquest of the Arab countries 1516-1574
Османское завоевание арабских стран (1516-1574)
Москва, 1996, 400 p.
The monograph highlights the political history of Arab countries in the Renaissance, the external and internal prerequisites of the Ottoman conquest, the spread of Turkophilism in the Arab world, as well as the role of the Ottoman state in the struggle of Arab peoples against foreign enslavement. Based on extensive historiographical material, it tells about the fall of the Mamluk empire and the post-Almohad states of North Africa, their gradual incorporation into the Ottoman Empire.
The author sees the reason for this development of events in the notorious myth of the peasant "truth", which paved the way for the Ottoman weapons, and then the conquest of the Arab peoples in political and socio-cultural terms.
