Amidst a spate of books marking the first hundred years of the Turkish Republic, Alpaslan Özerdem and Ahmet Erdi Öztürk have brought together a uniquely valuable collection of papers covering the widest spectrum of topics – political, ideological, economic, social and cultural - by an impressive collection of distinguished scholars. It should prove an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with the evolution of modern Turkey.
- William Hale, SOAS,
The essays here are not mere recountings of important historical events but provide in-depth original analysis of the topics covered, making this volume a valuable resource for students of Turkish politics and society.
