"Two journalists based in Istanbul, the Popes have written a deeply revealing guide to modern Turkish culture and politics that fills a wide gap in general knowledge. It is also a brave and at times an ironic book....The book begins a bit unsteadily, with a fast and somewhat undigested encyclopedia-style treatment of Turkey's history until the death throes of the Ottoman Empire. By the time the Popes reach World War I, however, they settle down and begin enlightening the reader on every page."Pope, Hugh is the author of 'Turkey Unveiled A History of Modern Turkey', published 2004 under ISBN 9781585675814 and ISBN 1585675814.
