About Turkey is a treasury of information about life in Turkey, written by an expert on the history, politics, and economy of this landâ??one of the longest continually inhabited places in the world.

It presents a detailed look at Turkish society as only a native and a scholar can know it. About Turkey will help anyone interested in Turkey make sense of what you read or what you see on the Turkish streets and in the countryside. It is also a passionate statement of Turkish points of view on internal and international politics. In these pages you will learn about the unique role of the â??Father of modern Turkey,â? Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and you will come to understand why his memory remains a dominant force in the daily life of Turks. About Turkey is, indeed, â??everything you always wanted to know about Turkey.â? About the Author Dr. Rashid Ergener is an economist with degrees from Yale and Oxford. He has also been the guide for some distinguished guests, including a number of world leaders.
