NO. Don't ever recommend Menzies. It has absolutely no scholarly merit and is complete and utter pseudo-historical drivel. Menzies is not a historian and he has very little proof for any of his claims.

It's universally known that Menzies is a charlatan and no scholar takes him serious.

Anything on Ottoman History?
I've already read "The Imperial Harem" by Leslie Perice, "The Ottoman Empire" by Colin Imber, and "Rediscovering Palestine: Merchants and Peasants in Jabal Nablus, 1700-1900".
I'd appreciate reading something about the Ottomans in WW1.
