a MUST READING for every history ethusiast.......2006-04-08
If someone wants to find out who was the most enlighted statesmanof hte 20th century I highly reccomend that they read this book. The impressive life of Mr.Mustafa Kemal ATATURK is deifnitely worth reading. The founder of the modern republic of Turkey, a modernist, an avant-guard man, teh savour of his nation... Here is Mr.Ataturk. Make your children read this book and the world will be a safer place to live..
Novelesque; a triumph in style.......2001-12-04
Kinross approached this biography in a very unconventional manner, and the gamble paid off. Often historical subjects like Ataturk can reach into the "heavy reading" column with complicated military, social, diplomatic and political explanations. But Kinross gambles by trusting the intelligence of the reader, and depends more on conveying the strong, abrasive character of Ataturk than on the intricit, deeply-calculated broad social mechanics that surrounded him. You will walk away knowing in-depth the end of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the Turkish Republic while getting a clear insight into the character of Ataturk: his strengths and his shortcomings. As time goes by, it is more and more important to understand Kemalism and the course of secularization and modernization in the East.
The diagrams of the battle-fields on a mile scale were extremely helpful: for those, like me, who aren't adept at reading and understanding military strategies, Kinross gives you an introductory course. For the first time, I felt like I actually *knew* what happened in some important battles.
excellent.......1999-11-30
it explains the power of hardworking in a genious I couldn't break for a moment when I started reading it.I recommend everyone to read this excellent bioghrapy.
What you need to know about the making of the Turkish nation.......1999-08-08
Found by chance in a small bookstore this is one of the best books I have ever read. Finely written, it will give you all the detail you need to understand the last days of the Ottoman Empire and the birth of the Turkish Nation. Even if you are not that interested in the subject it will draw you into the fascinating detail of the life of a truly extraordinary man in extraordinary times. Buy it...you will enjoy it without being able to put it away.

Amazing and heroic narration of a brilliant legendary leader.......2003-08-27
This biography is a well-written, comprehensive story about a fascinating and inspiring man. Even Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf who has been known as "Ataturk's modern heir," has commented on the inspiration of Ataturk by referring to him as his "most admired person."
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a revolutionist who replaced the Ottoman Empire and established a new, more modern and Western Republic- Turkey, one of the most powerful countries in the Middle East. He made Turkey a secular nation by introducing contemporary 20th Century reforms such as replacing the Arabic alphabet with the Latin, and the Islamic calendar with the Christian. He separated church from state and was one of the first to give women political rights such as the right to vote, even before Great Britain did.
The photographs, maps and bibliography make this one of the most easy-to-read, informative biographies I've ever read.
Everyone must read this book to learn about this philanthropist leader of Turkey.
