AN EXPERTLY WRITTEN WORK EXISTS FREE ON THE WEB AT~ https://books.google.com.om/books?id...ELMETS&f=false
The above work covers everything so far and in minute detail alongside beautiful illustrations... It is far reaching dealing with the similar items in Russian, Persian, Indian, and other works in the Regions...

Battle Report #17 :Vienna 1683.
Here I switch to the first of what I call an Ethnographic history...of the Ottomans... the siege of Vienna. This was the second attempt and one of the greatest sieges in history.. I therefor redirect your focus to a sizeable read but one which is filled with action at http://defence.pk/threads/battle-rep....386899/page-1 in two parts. Parts 1 and 2 are easily accessible at the top of the webpage.
