Opis

The aborted coup in Turkey has fired up interest in a country which will play a critical geopolitical role in the wars of the Middle East.

Recenzje

This is a brave and balanced narrative of Turkey's mercurial President Erdogan. Soner Cagaptay explains how 'the new sultan' built a modern and prosperous Turkey, but how his 'autocratic, illiberal side' undermined these achievements and throttled democracy. Turkey is now at a crossroads, and Cagaptay provides a clear roadmap. Nobody tells Erdogan's story better or more honestly. David Ignatius, columnist, Washington Post
