 Too brief on modern Turkey November 7, 1998
11 out of 17 found this review helpful
There's too much - more than 60% of the book - devoted to the pre-Ottoman period. There's too much emphasis on ancient Turkey. To understand modern Turkey, it is essential to understand the Ottoman and the Attaturk legacies. Only about 30 pages are devoted to the Attaturk and post-Attaturk period. It is just not possible to understand the role of Islam, the military, the position of women, etc., in modern Turkey, without in-depth reference to the impact of the Ottomans and Attaturk to attitudes and values in the country.

Old too soon...I bought this book too late. After returning from three weeks in Turkey with at least an appreciation for 5000 years of history, I found Stoneman's handy book, but not in time to conceal my sad lack of knowledge from fellow travellers. This book is no turkey
