Description:

This Turkish edition of First Battle of Kosovo (15 June 1389) (Birinci Kosova Meydan Muharebesi (15 Haziran 1389)) was published by the Military History and Strategic Studies Directorate (ATASE) of the Turkish General Staff in 1987. Printed in Turkish, this volume is an official military study examining one of the most decisive battles in early Ottoman history through archival research and professional military analysis.

The book explores the political and strategic background of the 1389 campaign, detailing the Ottoman advance into the Balkans under Sultan Murad I and the coalition formed by Prince Lazar and other Balkan rulers to resist Ottoman expansion. It analyzes the deployment of both armies, battlefield tactics, command structures, and the roles played by Prince Bayezid and Prince Yakup during the engagement.

The study follows the course of the battle step by step, evaluating the decisive Ottoman victory, the turning points that shaped the outcome, and the assassination of Sultan Murad I immediately after the battle. It also examines Bayezid's accession to the throne and the long-term military and political consequences of the victory, which firmly established Ottoman influence in the Balkans.

Prepared as an official ATASE publication, the volume combines historical research with military analysis, making it an important reference for scholars of Ottoman military history, medieval warfare, and the expansion of the Ottoman Empire.
