Opis

Traces how the backwater town of Izmir (Smyrna) on the Aegean coast of Turkey, became a major seaport of the Ottoman empire, an arena of rival western European traders, a magnet for marauding pirates, and a hotbed of radical millenarians and mystics. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or
