Turkey is an historic crossroads, poised between Europe and Asia, Islam and Christianity, and is the fulcrum upon which great civilizations have turned.\u003cbr\u003eIn this authoritative history, Sina Aksin, one of Turkey's most prominent historians, traces the roots of the Turkish Republic to the Ottoman Empire. \u003cb\u003eTurkey, from Empire to Revolutionary Republic\u003c\/b\u003e treats the period before, during, and after World War I, encompassing the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of Atatürk. The book closes with three chapters on the 1980s, the 1990s, and the new millennium, concluding with the question of EU accession, and will attract particular attention for the sophisticated Turkish view it provides of the contemporary period.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike most histories of modern Turkey available to Western readers, this clear and compelling work offers the unique perspective of a native Turk.
