It would be a lie if I said I didn't think about why Yavuz Bahadıroglu wrote this book. Yes, he talked about Fatih, but he mostly criticized the left and right. No, the West is like this, Republic Turkey is like that. No, so many students had problems because of the headscarf. No, leftists hate sultans, no blacks, no nationalists hate grand viziers. Unfortunately, you come across these sections over and over again. There is so much unnecessary criticism on the subject that it gets boring after a certain point. Okay, I respect your thoughts, but I don't think this book is the place to explain them and criticize them. Thanks to these criticisms, I will remember them more than Mehmet the Conqueror. I read the author's opinion knowingly, I think it is necessary to look at history separately from each author's perspective, but I actually did not like how he reflected his thoughts.
