Reimagine global history with God’s Shadow by Alan Mikhail—a groundbreaking account that places the Ottoman Empire at the center of the modern world’s formation.

At the heart of this powerful narrative is Sultan Selim I, a formidable ruler whose ambition and strategy transformed the Ottoman Empire into a dominant global force in the early 16th century. With the guidance of his influential mother, Gülbahar, Selim expanded the empire’s reach, reshaping politics, religion, and trade across continents.

Challenging traditional Eurocentric narratives, this book uncovers how key global events—from Christopher Columbus’s voyages to the Protestant Reformation and the transatlantic slave trade—were deeply connected to the rise of the Ottoman Empire and Islamic world.

Drawing on previously unexplored sources, Alan Mikhail delivers a richly detailed and compelling history that redefines our understanding of power, empire, and global connections.

Perfect for history enthusiasts, scholars, and readers seeking fresh perspectives, God’s Shadow is an essential read in modern world history.
