520 $aIn this book, historian Daniel Goffman uses a wealth of English and Ottoman primary sources to re-create the lives of some of the Englishmen who adapted - or failed to adapt - to life, commerce, and politics in the Ottoman Empire during the turmoil of the civil wars and interregnum at home.
520 8 $aHenry Hyde, a royalist adventurer skilled in manipulating Ottoman society to his own ends, ultimately lost the political game, and with it, his head. Sir Sackvile Crow, Charles I's ambassador in Istanbul, tried to aid his king and brought the English civil war spilling into the Levant. Crow's struggle against his ambassadorial successor, Sir Thomas Bendysh, enmeshed the English Levant Company, parliament, the king, and a host of Ottoman statesmen and officials.
