Hello all.

I have been trying to research that conflict a bit for my latest TL, but have been almost entirely unsuccessful in finding anything at my library about that conflict. Can anyone recommend any sources (preferably in English) about the Great Turkish War (1683-1699), specifically the conflict in the Balkans after Vienna? Anything from the Ottoman perspective would be appreciated especially, since I have only a basic understanding of how their armies fought and were organized during that time period.

From what cursory sources I have found (the memiors of Eugene of Savoy cover the conflict in about 8 pages) the war included some enormous set-piece battles which dwarfed the contemporary battles fought in the West. But there are very few sources that detail that conflict, while contemporary wars like the Nine Years War and the War of Devolution get their own sections.

What are some good sources to consult, and why is that conflict so overlooked by authors?
