The Ottomans and the Jews.

[123everton]

What books are available about the treatment of Jews in Ottoman Turkey/empire?
I'm especially interested in anecdotal evidence.
From what little I know so far Jews were very well treated for a long time (in comparison to Christians) until after the Armenian expulsions. I am particuarly interested in the period of the Greek expulsions circa 1914. Thankyou.

(At one time I had a copy of the referenced Arthur Koestler's, The Thirteenth Tribe, but I can't locate it now)).
