Ataturk - The Biography of the Founder of Modern Turkey (Paperback, Reprint)

In this major new biography of Mustafa Kemal AtatA1/4rk, and the first to appear in English based on Turkish sources, Andrew Mango strips away the myth, to show the complexities of one of the most visionary, influential, and enigmatic statesmen of the century. Mustafa Kemal AtatA1/4rk was virtually unknown until 1919, when he took the lead in thwarting the victorious Allies' plan to partition the Turkish core of the Ottoman Empire. He divided the Allies, defeated the last Sultan, and secured the territory of the Turkish national state, becoming the first president of the new republic in 1923, fast creating his own legend.
Andrew Mango's revealing portrait of AtatA1/4rk throws light on matters of great importance today-resurgent nationalism, religious fundamentalism, and the reality of democracy.
