A concise account of the life and career of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
(1881 - 1938), the formidable "founder of modern Turkey", who
turned the ruins of the old and ramshackle Ottoman Empire into a
modern, westernised and secularised nation state. It also provides
an introduction to the Turkish Republic itself. Key features: The
study of Ataturk is essential to those studying the history of
Modern Turkey and also useful for the study of nationalism Turkey
has recently become very important to the western powers e.g.
during the Gulf War, and its recent history is now of general, not
specialist, concern a topical subject - Ataturk's achievements are
currently being challenged, particularly by Islamic
fundamentalists, and the collapse of the Soviet Union has reopened
questions about Turkey's role which Ataturk originally seemed to
have settled for good. Readership: Level: Undergraduate and
postgraduate, suitable for general reader. Courses: European
history in the period of WWl and it's reader aftermath, Near and
Middle Eastern History, Age of Dictators.
