Stanford J. Shaw and Ezel Kural Shaw, "History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey", 2 vols, Cambridge University Press, London(1976-7). Lord Kinross, "The Ottoman Centuries", Jonathan Cape, London, (1977). For the modern period a standard book is: Bernard Lewis, The Emergence of Modern Turkey, Oxford University Press (1968). These will get you started. If you need more details or other references on political sociological analyses of modernization movements in the region or on the "asiatic mode of production" ideas, contact me thru e-mail.
