"A quick read, probably good for someone like me who knows very little about Turkey's recent history. The travelog-esque interludes were a nice touch."
"Great information. I felt like the book could have been a 5 if Stephen had kept to a chronological order. For the most part he did, but he jumped back and forth from the 1980's through 2007. It left me feeling disoriented about the present state of Turkey. His last chapter attempted to show the present state of Turkey, but Stephen again left me feeling like Turkey is on the brink of disaster and also so close to becoming what it has desired to be for so long. That is probably the intended effect. He left the hazy dreamlike ambiguity because Turkey is caught in between the dreams of the secular democratic Turks and the fundamental Islamic Turks. Soon, Turkey's dreams will be fully realized. Which of these dreams will win? I prefer to remain uncertain just as Stephen Kinzer is."
