History of Obstetrics and Gynecology Book

I have my problems with Bernard Lewis, partly in content, partly in style.
Content: Lewis, as in all previous books of his, is preoccupied with Turkey, its history, its culture, its challenges. He needs to present himself as a "turkologist", for that is what he is. His representation of Arab-based Islam is negligent, and peripherial at best. I can't resist the impression that "Islam" in all his titles is motivated by marketing, whereby his vast knowledge of Turkey should be his calling card.
Positively in this book are the contributions to historical research and the necessity to know vastly both the language and the people of the culture, which one claims to analyse and project to the public, meaning mostly the western public.
One way or another, this book is an unbalanced amalgam of weakly related articles, superficially glued together for publishing.
Style: Lewis's extensive knowledge is impressive. However, he seems locked into his vague and undocumented generalities, writing vaguities without any reference, explination, or details.
Perhaps my "Steckenpferd" (hobby horse), his essay-style, very British and out-dated, of exposing his data without subtitles, outlines, visible directions, drives me to dismiss his results. At least, he has chapters with titles, but that's all. Where is he going? How has he arrived at this generality? What are the bases of his claims?
All this leaves me delegating this book to those, who are impressed with his literary style, satisfied with his vaguities, and desirous of his evaluations, not wanting to question his data.
