This biography of Atat?rk aims to strip away the myth to show the complexities of the man beneath. Born plain Mustafa in Ottoman Salonica in 1881, he trained as an army officer but 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 & secured the territory of the Turkish national state, becoming the first president of the new republic in 1923. He imposed coherence, order & mordernity & in the process, created his own legend & his own cult. ...

When Mustafa Kemal Ataturk became the first president of Turkey in 1923, he set about transforming his country into a secular republic where nationalism sanctified by science--and by the personality cult Ataturk created around himself--would reign supreme as the new religion. This book provides the first in-depth look at the intellectual life of the Turkish Republic`s founder. In doing so, it frames him within the historical context of the turbulent age in which he lived, & explores the uneasy transition from the late Ottoman imperial order to the modern Turkish state through his life & ideas. Shedding light on one of the most complex & enigmatic statesmen of the modern era, M. Sukru Hanioglu takes readers from Ataturk`s youth as a Muslim boy in the volatile ethnic cauldron of Macedonia, to his education in nonreligious & military schools, to his embrace of Turkish nationalism & the modernizing Young Turks movement. Who was this figure who sought glory as an ambitious young officer in World War I, defied the victorious Allies intent on partitioning the Turkish heartl&, & defeated the last sultan? Hanioglu charts Ataturk`s intellectual & ideological development at every stage of his life, demonstrating how he was profoundly influenced by the new ideas that were circulating in the sprawling Ottoman realm. He shows how Ataturk drew on a unique mix of scientism, materialism, social Darwinism, positivism, & other theories to fashion a grand utopian framework on which to build his new nation. Now with a new preface, this book provides the first in-depth look at the intellectual life of the Turkish Republic`s founder. ...
