About This Book

An engaging portrait of Mustafa Kemal Pasha and the political and social transformation of his country from imperial decline to national reorganization. The author traces late Ottoman structures, the Young Turk movement, the impact of Balkan wars and the Great War, foreign intrigues involving Germany, Russia, and Britain, and contentious episodes such as population deportations and the collapse of neighboring regimes. Coverage includes debates over the caliphate, Arab and minority communities, the role of missionaries and foreign interests, and the emergence of a national assembly that redirects emphasis from military to economic reconstruction.
