The Emergence of Modern Turkey Zusammenfassung

The Emergence of Modern Turkey Editor

Written by renowned scholar Bernard Lewis, this book has long established itself as the preferred one-volume history of modern Turkey. Now in its third edition, this book has been updated to include the most recent information on Turkey and addresses such issues as Turkey's emergence as a Western-oriented power; its inclusion in the European Union; its continued involvement with the politics of the Middle East as well as the politics of the Iraq-UN conflict; and the politically divisive issue of Kurdich violence and ethnic nationalism.
