Roger Crowley also got another book called 1453:the holy war for Constantinople and the clash of Islam and the West. As you might guessed from title, it's about the great siege of Constatinople. I really recommend this one, it reads almost like a novel. It explains why the Ottoman's wanted the city and the battle of wits between Mehmet II (the Ottoman Sultan) and Constantine XI (the last Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire) among others things. It's not quite a general overview of the Ottomans, though.
