A dictator ?? You gotta be kidding. Ataturk is the reason Turkish people have democracy, women's equality, and a secular government. Without this 'dictator' they would be still in the stone ages. The 'author' has NO understanding of the Turkish and Ottoman history.

This is not a bad book as lots of people think. If you omit the things about Ataturk's private life (the writer wrote too much things that there is no way he may know) this book gives a good idea about how much he loved his country and how incredible he is. But I suggest you start with Lord Kinross's book if you would like to read about Ataturk. Also the last sentence of the book was a good one:
"He is Dictator in order that it may be impossible ever again that there should be in Turkey a Dictator".
I guess he did what he had to do to save Turkey.
