Turkey is committing crimes against humanity across a region spanning Asia, the Middle East and Africa. This book is the first to explain the machinations that the country's leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has put in motion in his rise to power from leading the Muslim Brotherhood's Istanbul branch to President.

The atrocities being committed are ongoing and continue against a backdrop of global condemnations of the dismal security situation and violence that exists within areas controlled by Turkish forces.

The book highlights the long-simmering conflict between Turkey and its Kurdish minority, which has spread further afield and resulted in the targeting of the Kurdistan Workers' Party in Iraq even as popular discontent grows against the Erdogan regime at home and abroad.

Erdogan's murky political and military-strategic agenda is further exacerbated by Turkey's fomentation of ISIS and deployment of the terrorist group's militants. This book describes how Turkish intelligence operatives smuggled ISIS militias into Libya and Azerbaijan, who then carried out heinous war crimes with the intent to destabilize the region.

Moreover, the desperate situation of Syrian refugees has been exploited by the Turkish administration, which has hijacked their plight in a cynical manoeuvre to exert political pressure on Europe while also routing refugees into Kurdish territory, dubbing it a "safe zone".

The Muslim world does not know enough about Erdogan's dangerous authoritarian leadership and its grave consequences. This book aims to change that by revealing the continuity between Pan Islamism, Turkish Islamisation, and Erdogan's proxy militias, and how those interrelationships have led to war crimes against Kurdish people in Iraq and Syria.
