Synopsis

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 searised 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, partiarly by Islamic fundamentalists, and the collapse of the Sot 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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This concise account of the life and career of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881--1938), the formidable "founder of modern Turkey", offers a substantial revaluation of a key figure in modern history, and also an introduction to the Turkish republic itself. It is a timely study with Turkey again at the centre of international attention, as Islamic fundamentalists challenge many of Atatürk's westernising and secularizing reforms, and as the regional aftershocks of the Soviet collapse reopen profound questions about Turkey's nature, role and relationships Atatürk had sought to settle for good.
