The 17th-century Ottoman-Habsburg frontier was the scene of chronic conflict. The defences of both empires were based on a line of fortresses, spanning the border. This book gives us an insight into everyday life on the frontier in this turbulent time in Ottoman history by investigating the various aspects of Ottoman forts and garrisons.
