Hard Cover. Brand New/Brand New Book Jacket. 6 x 9". ..ISBN: 0374131430, Author: Stephen Kinzer, 252 pages, Issue Price: $25.00. .."In concise and elegant prose, Kinzer captures the excitement of modern Turkey with all its complexities and ambiguities, still struggling to define itself and its place 'between two worlds,' as he so aptly puts it. ..Turkey matters greatly to us, given its crucial role both in Europe and in the Middle East, and this vivid book, both personal and analytical, is the best recent work on the subject." -Richard D. Holbrooke .."Stephen Kinzer ground-truths Turkey. He lets Turkey's political reality emerge upward from cafés and villages—you hear the voices of average people in these pages—and he shows that good journalism conveys the history and culture of a country so that readers can put its politics into perspective. The result is an intriguing portrait of a pivotal nation in historic transition." - Robert D. Kaplan (July 2003)
