Description:
This Turkish edition of Raids on Anatolia During the Seljuk Period / Akka Castle Defense in the 1799–1802 Ottoman-French War / 1853–1856 Ottoman-Russian Crimean War Caucasus Front (Selçuklular Döneminde Anadolu'ya Yapılan Akınlar) was published by the Military History and Strategic Studies Directorate (ATASE) of the Turkish General Staff in 1981. Printed in Turkish, this official volume brings together three independent military studies covering different eras of Turkish military history, from the medieval Seljuk period to the Ottoman Empire.
The first section examines the strategic raids carried out during the Great Seljuk and Anatolian Seljuk periods, analyzing the military campaigns that contributed to the gradual Turkification and conquest of Anatolia. The second study focuses on the heroic defense of the Fortress of Acre under Cezzar Ahmed Paşa, where Ottoman forces successfully halted Napoleon Bonaparte's advance into Syria during the Ottoman-French War of 1799–1802.
The final section explores the Caucasus Front of the Crimean War (1853–1856), covering Ottoman defensive operations against the Russian Empire, including the military campaigns around Kars and the strategic challenges faced on the eastern frontier. Together, these three studies provide valuable insight into the evolution of Turkish military strategy across several centuries.
