To set them free: The early years of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (Turkish Edition)

A bilingual (Turkish/English) biography of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
by: Barbara K. Walker and Sema G. Kormali · The facing page format, with English on the left and Turkish on the right, is designed to make comparison easy for students of either English or Turkish.

· This biography is the first to treat the whole life of Atatürk. It gives particular attention to his formative years, his childhood and early military career, since this period is not as well known as his career as the great reformer and founder of the modern Turkish state.
· Research, which took over 25 years, included work in government and family archives and extensive interviews with people who had known Atatürk at all periods from childhood on.
· 34 rare photographs and portraits, several reproduced from the originals.
· Mustafa Kemal Atatürk rose from a humble childhood to become one of the most courageous and significant leaders of the 20th Century.
