Turkey: A Primary Source Cultural Guide tells the story of Turkey from its first civilizations to the Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Turks who comprise its history. Various periods such as the rise of the Ottomans, the influence of the Byzantine Empire, and the 20th-century reforms of Kemal Ataturk are each discussed in detail. Modern-day Turkey and its ongoing struggle to achieve political stability, equal human rights, and entrance into the European Union are also covered. |
