Pressestimmen
"Although first published in 1993, Professor Zurcher's account of Turkey's development from the remnants of the Ottoman Empire to a candidate for EU membership still offers one of the best accounts of how Turkey became the political animal it is today." - Simon Taylor, European Voice "Zurcher... writes in a fluent and easily accessible style, and with admriably broad scope and full command of this immensely complex subject." - Frank Tachau, University of Illinois, Chicago "...provides the historical perspective essential for an understanding of these issues - it could not have come at a more opportune time." - Andrew Mango, Times Literary Supplement "This is an excellent textbook... Any reader, teacher or student or not, can profit from it." - Roderic H. Davison, George Washington University "Turkey: A Modern History can be recommended with confidence to anybody who wishes to gain a general perspective on where the study of modern Turkish history at this time. Zurcher is more than successful in synthesizing the growing body of findings and arguments into a coherent whole. This will also make a very good textbook in upper-level courses on the modern Middle East. Finally... Zurcher's study also represents the definitive statement about the crucial continuities between Imperial and Republican history. As such, it makes an important contribution to the field of Turkish studies." - Resat Kasaba, University of Washington
Kurzbeschreibung
This revised edition builds upon and updates the twin themes of Turkey's continuing incorporation into the capitalist world and the modernization of state and society. It begins with the forging of closer links with Europe after the French Revolution, and the changing face of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. In his account of the period since 1950, Zurcher focuses on the growth of mass politics; the three military coups; the issue of Turkey's human right's record; integration into the global economy; the alliance with the West and relations with the European Community; and much more.<BR>

Einleitungssatz
In the late eighteenth century, just before the upheavals caused by the French revolution, the Ottoman Empire roughly consisted of the Balkans (with modern-day Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria and large parts of Romania), Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and most of the Arab world (with the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Iraq, Kuwait, parts of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria).

I knew absolutely nothing about Turkey when I picked up this book, which I bought in preparation for a trip to Turkey next month. I found that the author, unlike some academics, writes limpid, readable prose. He does dwell in considerable detail on the political jousting that takes place inside the government; it seems that there have always been competing factions within the power structure in Turkey, and they appear at times to have changed position from week to week. I therefore found myself skimming through parts of this book. I wish he'd focused a bit more on cultural history, as this was the bit I found most interesting. Still, all in all, a good read for what is essentially a textbook. I've started "Turkey Unveiled" by Hugh and Nicole Pope, two journalists who are clearly aiming for a more popular treatment of the subject matter, and I can tell that my having read Professor Zurcher's book will make their book much more interesting.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is an interesting book that starts in the declining Ottoman empire of the nineteenth century and follows developments of that time forward to quite recent events in Turkey of today, concentrating on political and economic issues. The author clearly knows his stuff and the information is thoughtfully presented. Because this book covers a lot of ground, it usually doesn't go into a lot of depth on any given set of events. My main criticism is that the author tends to compress his version of events in such a way that important points are often obscured or presented extremely briefly. This makes the book sometimes hard to follow. Nonetheless this is a good overview for anyone interested in Turkey. I came away with a renewed admiration for Ataturk and what he managed to accomplish. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.

This book can definitely be recommended to students and general readers finding their way into the often controversial history of modern Turkey. It is well-balanced and clearly written, picking a sensible path between the distorted versions of Turkish history offered by those academics with too strong a pro-Turkish or anti-Turkish bias. Turkey's present-day authorities will almost certainly object to the book's conclusions about how best to tackle the long-standing Kurdish problem (Zurcher proposes guarantees for Kurdish culture and the Kurdish language, and some form of autonomy for the south-east). But the passages on the Kurds do not dominate the book, which is concerned mostly with tracing Turkey's turbulent road to modernity.
