Americký historik, najlepšie známy pre svoje diela o neskoršej Osmanskej ríši, tureckých Židoch a rannej Tureckej republike. Shaw a jeho turecká manželka Ezel Kuralová popierajú, že došlo k genocíde Arménov, a tvrdia, že Arméni boli jednoducho odstránení z vojnového pásma pozdĺž ruských hraníc. Shaw v súčasnosti vyučuje na súkromnej univerzite Bilkent v Turecku.
The book explores the tension between tradition and modernity, delving into how individuals navigate the challenges of change while holding onto their cultural roots. It offers a nuanced perspective on the impact of societal shifts on personal identities and relationships. Through rich character development and evocative storytelling, the narrative invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of balancing the old with the new.
The neutrality maintained by Turkey during most of the Second World War enabled it to rescue thousands of Jews from the Holocaust in the Nazi-occupied or collaborating countries of Europe. This book shows how in France, the Turkish consuls in Paris and Marseilles intervened to protect Turkish Jews from application of anti-Jewish laws introduced both by the German occupying authorities and the Vichy government and rescued them from concentration camps, getting them off trains destined for the extermination chambers in the East, and arranging train caravans and other special transportation to take them through Nazi-occupied territory to safety in Turkey.

Volume 1, Empire of the Gazis: The Rise and Decline of the Ottoman Empire 1280 1808
The first volume explores the rich and complex history of the Ottoman Empire, detailing its rise, governance, and cultural achievements. It provides insights into the empire's interactions with Europe and its eventual transformation into modern Turkey. Through extensive research and analysis, the book delves into political, social, and economic factors that shaped the region, offering a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal era in history.
Since the opening of the Ottoman Archives, research on the history of the Ottoman Empire prior to 1800 has resulted primarily in the publication of individual financial and administrative records, sometimes with analysis. Dr. Shaw's study is the first effort to use all the available records concerning an individual province, synthesizing them into an exhaustive study of Egypt's administration under Ottoman rule, from its conquest in 1517 until the French invasion of Egypt in 1798. A unique work of scholarship, the book shows in detail the changes made over the centuries, and is based both on the local archives and on the Imperial Ottoman archives located in Istanbul. Originally published in 1962. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
