Description

"Called "the sick man of Europe" at the beginning of the 20th century, 100 years of history have done nothing to effect a cure on a thoroughly dysfunctional Turkey . Repeatedly rebuffed by the European Union because of its corrupt, chaotic and unstable internal affairs, Turkey's "modernist revolution," created by Kemal Ataturk and his successors, has failed to create a cohesive state . Instead it has increasingly divided the people of this once proud empire . Nowhere has this been illustrated more tragically than in the universal cry of dispair among the victims and survivors of the devastating earthquake of 1999: "Where is the state.?" . How and why has this happened? It is to answer this question that . Reed undertook a series of journeys to discover the "hidden Turkey" - its ethnic diversity ,its Islamic spirituality, its ancient and resonant history and the repression and corruption of its current militarist regime." In search also of the mystical Islamic leader Said Nursi. " 320p. plates bibliography.index
