This biography is a well-written, comprehensive story about a fascinating and inspiring man. Even Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf who has been known as "Ataturk's modern heir," has commented on the inspiration of Ataturk by referring to him as his "most admired person." Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a revolutionist who replaced the Ottoman Empire and established a new, more modern and Western Republic- Turkey, one of the most powerful countries in the Middle East. He made Turkey a secular nation by introducing contemporary 20th Century reforms such as replacing the Arabic alphabet with the Latin, and the Islamic calendar with the Christian. He separated church from state and was one of the first to give women political rights such as the right to vote, even before Great Britain did. The photographs, maps and bibliography make this one of the most easy-to-read, informative biographies I've ever read. Everyone must read this book to learn about this philanthropist leader of Turkey.
