It was the creation of one man, the soldier-statesman Mustafa Kemal, who dragged his country from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, and in defeating Western imperialists inspired 'the cause of the East'. Lord Kinross writes of the intrigues of empires, the brutalities of civil war, personal courage - showing us Ataturk, the incarnation of glory - as well as of Kemal's youthful ambition, and his problems with his wife.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kinross, Baron Patrick Balfour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465860681912,"sku":"9781842125991","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781842125991.jpg?v=1734724784","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781842125991","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
