The definitive book on Turkey's history, completely revised and updated. Hugh and Nicole Pope have comprehensively updated their definitive history of modern Turkey, Turkey Unveiled. Tracing the rise of the country that transformed itself in the twentieth century from an agrarian society to an affluent, prominent republic, this new edition also includes new photos, maps, and key information on Turkey's new-found prominent position in current global affairs, as evidenced by its vital role as a moderate Islamic government during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Nicole and Hugh Pope, who speak fluent Turkish and have reported from Turkey for over a decade, provide a rich mosaic of contemporary Turkey and its formative past. Combining expert analysis with keen understanding of a culture long misunderstood by the West, Turkey Unveiled provides insights for both the general reader and the millions of people who have made Turkey a top tourist destination.
