About this book
About Book:
The Shortest History of Turkey: From the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic offers a concise, accessible account of Turkey’s long and complex past. Historian Benjamin C. Fortna traces the country’s development from the Byzantine and Ottoman worlds through imperial reform, war, the founding of the modern republic, and the political tensions of the present day. He examines recurring conflicts between religious tradition and secularism, ethnic diversity and national unity, and Westernisation and local identity. The book also highlights Turkey’s cultural richness, including its food, craftsmanship, architecture, and role as a meeting point between regions and civilizations.
