"In Turkey today Ataturk is invoked at every turn in domestic politics, and a law protects his memory from insult. Andrew Mango's portrait of Ataturk reveals a man who, while responsible for some of his country's ills, transformed the republic from a battle-scarred ruin into a regional power. It is a fascinating story and one that throws light on other matters of great importance today - resurgent nationalism, religious fundamentalism, and the reality of democracy. Above all, Ataturk's life makes us consider again the ever-controversial questions about human progress posed by the European Enlightenment that inspired him."--BOOK JACKET.
