false 190401 3 In this major new biography of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and the first to appear in English based on Turkish sources, Andrew Mango strips away the myth, to show the complexities of one of the most visionary, influential, and enigmatic statesmen of the century. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was virtually unknown until 1919, when he took the lead in thwarting the victorious Allies' plan to partition the Turkish core of the Ottoman Empire. He divided the Allies, defeated the last Sultan, and secured the territory of the Turkish national state, becoming the first president of the new republic in 1923, fast creating his own legend. <br><br> Andrew Mango's revealing portrait of Atatürk throws light on matters of great importance today-resurgent nationalism, religious fundamentalism, and the reality of democracy. 184078 2000 Ataturk: The Biography of the founder of Modern Turkey total:37|5:4|4:22|3:7|2:4|1:0| 37 137 84 10 4 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Feb 16 09:33:54 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 10:46:50 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 02 14:33:32 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 14:34:59 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 19:31:19 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 16 06:21:07 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Mar 19 14:49:02 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 17:11:22 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 16 14:54:44 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 16:26:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Oct 06 09:24:33 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 09:27:01 -0700 2008 Too many biographers seem to be unable to cut the mustard!]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 03 06:31:46 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 03 06:32:44 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Sep 03 20:35:03 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 08 09:01:51 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Aug 19 03:03:30 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 19 03:03:30 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 11:48:58 -0700 2008 Sun Nov 02 23:07:13 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 06:00:49 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 06:00:52 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 03 07:31:11 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 07:31:11 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 05 20:11:30 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 20:11:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 04 08:31:08 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 08:31:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 15:38:06 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 15:38:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 14:56:46 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 04:54:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 03 03:40:39 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 03:40:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 21 14:22:50 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 14:22:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 13:34:27 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 13:34:27 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Aug 17 04:46:45 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 08:43:56 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 04:46:45 -0700 2009
