Ataturk
Author(s): Andrew Mango
An examination of the founding father of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. The author strips away the myth to the man beneath: his high ideals and ruthless tactics; his championship of women's rights; his nationalism; and his drinking bouts and the strange theories they produced.
