don't hesitate!!!

i m telling you, dont hesitate to read this book...just trust me and let the show begin...

Dont listen to Robert Marzian

First of all the book is written, told, and presented beautifully. Many of the reviewers see that also, except a certain Robert Marzian. I am a person that has done research on different languages and have seen certain traits in names that automatically trace an individual to the country their from or are related to. In Armenia, many of the people have the suffix -ian at the end of their names/last names. And surprise! No wonder mr marzIAN hates this book :)Please people, read a book and judge it objectivly! As for you mr Marzian, you need to stop being RACIST!

Very well-written book. Detailed scientific representation.

Lewis scientifically presents historical facts in an objective way. There are numerious references that are used. This book gives a flavor almost like a Ph.D. dissertation. The infrastructure of Ottoman Empire is discussed and scrutinized in detail. This is a book for who would like to know the historic facts behind the modern Turkey and understand its roots.

wonder new perspective of Turkish Republic

Thank God, there is some new info on this country. For decades we had to depend on 50's and 60's informations to get a clear picture of creation of Turkey. I liked it a lot. A new window to America's closest ally that is so far away.

Excellent recollection of Turkish history

B.Lewis is an excellent writer who captures fundemental truths of the history of the Turkish republic and its emergence.Despite that the book has many facts and details it is written in a way that makes it fascinating to read.It is recommeneded for anybody who has interest in Turkish history.
