Download or read book Atatürk written by Andrew Mango and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2002-08-26 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “superlative [and] exhaustively researched” biography of “one of the most complex and controversial figures in twentieth-century world history” (Library Journal). Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 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. This revealing portrait of Atatürk throws light on matters of great importance today—resurgent nationalism, religious fundamentalism, and the reality of democracy. “One of the world’s most respected specialists on Turkey.” —The New York Times “Mango gives this man, one of the least-known nation-builders of the last century, full treatment, from his earliest days to his ascension to power and his death, from cirrhosis at the age of 57. Few leaders have so modernized an ancient society, instituting radical changes in dress, religion, government, education—even the alphabet . . . Mango’s admiration for Ataturk doesn’t keep him from displaying the dictator’s arrogance, ruthlessness and authoritarianism; his Turkish expertise enables him to flesh out Ataturk’s complex life via sources he translated himself . . . a rounded, finely detailed portrait.” —Publishers Weekly “Thanks to Andrew Mango’s new biography, the best in the English language, a man both demonized and idolized appears to us in three dimensions.” —The Washington Post “A superb biography.” —Dallas Morning News “The best concise account I have ever seen of the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The narrative is gripping.” —Geoffrey Lewis, author of Modern Turkey
Book Synopsis Ataturk: Lessons in Leadership From the Greatest General of the Ottoman Empire by : Austin Bay
Download or read book Ataturk: Lessons in Leadership From the Greatest General of the Ottoman Empire written by Austin Bay and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was a Muslim visionary, revolutionary statesman, and founder of the Republic of Turkey. The West knows him best as the leading Ottoman officer in World War I's Battle of Gallipoli—a defeat for the Allies, and the Ottoman empire's greatest victory. Gaining fame as an exemplary military officer, he went on to lead his people in the Turkish War of Independence, abolishing the Ottoman Sultanate, emancipating women, and adopting western dress. Deeply influenced by the Enlightenment, Atatürk sought to transform the empire into a modern and secular nation-state, and during his presidency, embarked upon a program of impressive political, economic, and cultural reforms. Militarily and politically he excelled at all levels of conflict, from the tactical, through the operational, to the strategic, and into the rarified realm of grand strategy. His ability to integrate the immediate with the ultimate serves as an important lesson for leaders engaged in the twenty-first century's great military struggles. He became the only leader in history to successfully turn a Muslim nation into a Western parliamentary democracy and secular state, leaving behind a legacy of modernization and military and political leadership.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Modernity and National Identity in Turkey by : Sibel Bozdogan
Download or read book Rethinking Modernity and National Identity in Turkey written by Sibel Bozdogan and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first two decades after W.W.II, social scientist heralded Turkey as an exemplar of a 'modernizing' nation in the Western mold. Images of unveiled women working next to clean-shaven men, healthy children in school uniforms, and downtown Ankara's modern architecture all proclaimed the country's success. Although Turkey's modernization began in the late Ottoman era, the establishment of the secular nation-state by Kemal Ataturk in 1923 marked the crystallization of an explicit, elite-driven 'project of modernity' that took its inspiration exclusively from the West. The essays in this book are the first attempt to examine the Turkish experiment with modernity from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing the fields of history, the social sciences, the humanities, architecture, and urban planning. As they examine both the Turkish project of modernity and its critics, the contributors offer a fresh, balanced understanding of dilemmas now facing not only Turkey but also many other parts of the Middle East and the world at large.
Book Synopsis The Time of Mute Swans by : Ece Temelkuran
Download or read book The Time of Mute Swans written by Ece Temelkuran and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ankara, the capital city in the heart of Turkey at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, East and West, is a hotspot in the Cold War, torn between communism and conservatism, Western freedoms and traditional ways, with an army fearful of democracy and a government that employs thugs and torture to enforce law and order. In the summer of 1980, tensions are building. Homes of the poor are being burnt down. Armed revolutionaries on college campuses battle right-wings militias in the city's neighborhoods. The lines between good and bad, right and wrong, and beautiful and ugly are blurred by shed blood. Two children, one from a family living in misery and one well-off, form an alliance amid the turmoil. Through their senses, the cityscape unfolds its wonders, its rich smells and colors, as they try to make sense of the events swirling around them. And they hatch a plan. For the first time in generations, mute swans have migrated from Russia to the Black Sea and to a park at the center of Ankara. For the generals, they are an affirmation, and their wings must be broken so they can't fly away. But if the children can save one swan, won't they have saved the freedom of all?
Book Synopsis The Future of Ecocriticism by : Serpil Oppermann
Download or read book The Future of Ecocriticism written by Serpil Oppermann and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we enter the second decade of the twenty-first century, environmental concerns dominate the media headlines, from rampant poverty in the developing world to nuclear accidents in industrialized nations. How did human civilization arrive at its current predicaments, and what can we do to temper our habits of mind and mitigate society’s environmentally (and socially) destructive behaviors? The field of ecocriticism (also sometimes called “environmental criticism”) attempts to grapple with such issues. A branch of literary and cultural studies that essentially began in North America in the 1970s, ecocriticism is currently one of the most quickly developing areas of environmental research and teaching. The Future of Ecocriticism: New Horizons brings together thirty-two of the latest articles in the field, including work by some of the leading scholars from around the world. Although ecocriticism has been particularly active in North America, Western Europe, and East Asia, important studies of traditional environmental thought, environmental communication strategies, and environmental aesthetics have begun to emerge in every region of this world. This new book, co-edited by three prominent Turkish scholars and a leading American ecocritic, offers a special cluster of Turkish ecocriticism, with a focus on environmental stories and ideas in this culture that bridges Europe and Asia. Another unique feature of The Future of Ecocriticism: New Horizons is the concluding dialogue among the four editors about the current state of the field.

Book Synopsis Turkey, Kemalism and the Soviet Union by : Vahram Ter-Matevosyan
Download or read book Turkey, Kemalism and the Soviet Union written by Vahram Ter-Matevosyan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Kemalist ideology of Turkey from two perspectives. It discusses major problems in the existing interpretations of the topic and how the incorporation of Soviet perspectives enriches the historiography and our understanding of that ideology. To address these questions, the book looks into the origins, evolution, and transformational phases of Kemalism between the 1920s and 1970s. The research also focuses on perspectives from abroad by observing how republican Turkey and particularly its founding ideology were viewed and interpreted by Soviet observers. Paying more attention to the diplomatic, geopolitical, and economic complexities of Turkish-Soviet relations, scholars have rarely problematized those perceptions of Turkish ideological transformations. Looking at various phases of Soviet attitudes towards Kemalism and its manifestations through the lenses of Communist leaders, party functionaries, diplomats and scholars, the book illuminates the underlying dynamics of Soviet interpretations.
Download or read book Türkiye written by Julian Sayarer and published by Arcadia Books. This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A deeply thoughtful, gripping and scrupulous book told in Sayarer's trademark style from the saddle and the roadside" CAROLINE EDEN By a winner of the Stanford Dolman Award for Travel Writing "The best travelogues should make you question your preconceptions of a place and force you to engage with what the author is saying. Türkiye succeeds on both fronts" Cycle Magazine "We need writers who will go all the way for a story, and tell it with fire. Sayarer is a marvellous example" HORATIO CLARE On the eve of its centenary year and elections that will shape the coming generations, Julian Emre Sayarer sets out to cycle across Türkiye, from the Aegean coast to the Armenian border. Meeting Turkish farmers and workers, Syrian refugees and Russians avoiding conscription, the journey brings to life a living, breathing, cultural tapestry of the place where Asia, Africa and Europe converge. The result is a love letter to a country and its neighbours - one that offers a clear-eyed view of Türkiye and its place in a changing world. Yet the route is also marked by tragedy, as Sayarer cycles along a major fault line just months before one of the most devastating earthquakes in the region's modern history. Always engaged with the big historical and political questions that inform so much of his writing, Sayarer uses his bicycle and the roadside encounters it allows to bring everything back to the human level. At the end of his journey we are left with a deeper understanding of the country, as well as the essential and universal nature of political power, both in Türkiye and closer to home.

Book Synopsis Snapshots of Great Leadership by : Jon P. Howell
Download or read book Snapshots of Great Leadership written by Jon P. Howell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-26 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snapshots of Great Leadership offers a thorough look into leaders who have either accomplished amazing feats or brought destruction. Now in its third edition, this key volume explores what it means to be a great leader, and clearly explains the lives, triumphs, and challenges of a range of diverse leaders across history and into the modern day. Packed into easily digestible chapters, the authors demonstrate how, although the goals of these individuals were often quite different, the leadership processes they used were frequently similar. The opening chapter explains the latest theories of leadership and this new edition features one new leadership theory, Authentic Leadership, as well as recent research findings on the most popular theories. The authors have replaced nine leaders from earlier editions with new leaders including Elon Musk, Maria Montessori, and Virginia Hall. These new leaders exemplify unique leadership attributes and outstanding leadership effectiveness. Each leader snapshot adds an important "reality check" to the theories and models described in most introductory leadership textbooks, making this a key text for students taking leadership courses. Scholars and students of leadership and management will benefit from this accessible and comprehensive volume, as will leadership practitioners looking to reflect on and develop their own leadership skills. Offering valuable insights into the lives of historical and corporate leaders, the book is a compelling read for casual readers as well.
Book Synopsis ATATURK AND EMPEROR MEIJI OF JAPAN, "Conversations in Heaven" by : Ercument Kilic
Download or read book ATATURK AND EMPEROR MEIJI OF JAPAN, "Conversations in Heaven" written by Ercument Kilic and published by Ercument Kilic. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MERHABA, KONNICHIWA.. This book is about two of the most inspiring leaders of all time, Atatürk and Emperor Meiji of Japan, and the destinies of the countries they changed, Turkey and Japan. Atatürk was the founding father of the new Republic of Turkey after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and Meiji was the 122nd Emperor of Japan who established a new system of government in Japan following the departure of the last shogun. Atatürk (1881-1938) and Meiji (1852-1912) were mirror images of one another. They both were revolutionary reformists, determined to unleash their countries from their feudal pasts into modernity. The identical reforms of Atatürk in Turkey in the 1920s and the 1930s, and Meiji’s reforms in Japan in the late 1800s were intended to rip their countries out of the darkness of the Middle Ages. They both foresaw their nations’ advancement only through full adaptation of Western values and institutions, which was an extremely difficult task, considering the impossible ordeal of convincing the predominantly unsophisticated and regressive Muslim and Shinto societies. They changed their peoples’ obstinate cultural habits and institutions of thousands of years. Having an unyielding commitment to secularism, they identified secularism to be the only path to modernization. * All these and many other similar accomplishments were truly extraordinary because of their very identical nature; however, as I discovered during my research the eerie similar past lives, life experiences and personal resemblances of Atatürk and Meiji in opposite corners of the world, I felt that the writing of this book became more of a mission for me than just writing a history book. The core of this book however, explores two issues: the first is the reason why Turkey and Japan occupy two starkly contrasting places on the world stage today, despite the fact that Atatürk and Meiji had enacted nearly identical reforms in their respective countries; the second is the nature of the current and ongoing conflict between two different factions in Turkey – the political Islamists and the Western-minded secularists, the followers of Atatürk. Equally importantly, I will also talk about the Turkish and Japanese cultures and the curiously intertwined histories of Turkey and Japan, which go back 747 years, dating back to the invasions of Japan in 1274 and 1281 by Kublai Khan’s Mongolian armies, which, by the way, were mostly made up of Christian Turks. As I mentioned at the top, although the essence of this book is to make comparisons between the contrasting end results of identical reforms of Atatürk in Turkey in the 1920s and the 1930s, and Meiji’s reforms in Japan in the late 1800s, the end result of that contrast between Japan and Turkey actually emerges before us as one foregone conclusion: Turkey, since Atatürk’s death in 1938, did not follow his footsteps, unlike Japan after Meiji. So, what did happen? Why did Turkey and Japan with the very identical reforms of Atatürk and Meiji end up in two contrasting places in the spectrum of advanced development today? What was the culprit? My arguments in this book will point in the direction of the political Islamists and their manipulative usage of Islam since Atatürk’s death, most specifically, in the direction of the cruel war they have waged in recent years against Atatürk’s secular and Western ideals.
