Abdullah Gül - The Making Of The New Turkey

"A well-documented lucid account of the life and political activities of Abdullah Gül... McLean's work will remain as a major reference for scholars of modern Turkey for decades."

- Professor Halil İnalcık- Bilkent University, Ankara

"Abdullah Gül has been a voice of reason and common sense in today's Turkey a prime example of the sort of Muslim politician who could promise a variant of Christian Democracy in a country which has long needed a sensible conservative movement. Gerald MacLean's study of his career is well-written, well-balanced and timely."

- Professor Norman Stone-Bilkent University, Ankara

"Abdullag Gül and the Making of the New Turkey is more than a personal biography, and will act as a broad introduction to Turkey's modern political development. It provides a great deal of new information which should make it a useful source for students of contemporary Turkish society and politics."
