About this title

Synopsis

In this major new biography of Mustafa Kemal Atat�rk, and the first to appear in English based on Turkish sources, Andrew Mango strips away the myth, to show the complexities of one of the most visionary, influential, and enigmatic statesmen of the century. Mustafa Kemal Atat�rk was virtually unknown until 1919, when he took the lead in thwarting the victorious Allies' plan to partition the Turkish core of the Ottoman Empire. He divided the Allies, defeated the last Sultan, and secured the territory of the Turkish national state, becoming the first president of the new republic in 1923, fast creating his own legend.

Andrew Mango's revealing portrait of Atat�rk throws light on matters of great importance today-resurgent nationalism, religious fundamentalism, and the reality of democracy.

Review

Surely definitive ... I enjoyed every page and recommend this book highly (Simon Sebag Montifiore, Mail on Sunday)

A fluent, thorough and enjoyable biography, which for comprehensiveness, balance and deftness of touch outclasses all the alternatives for the English reader (Mark Mazower, New Statesman)

The best concise account I have ever seen of the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The narrative is gripping. It does not merely present all the facts of Ataturk's career but paints a credible picture of the whole man (Geoffrey Lewis)

The profundity of Mango's analysis and his empathy with the years of national regeneration lift Ataturk to a higher level of biography than any previous account (Alan Palmer, Literary Review)

Takes its place at the top (Norman Stone, Sunday Times)
