Critics Review
“One of CHOICE’s Outstanding Academic Titles for 2017”
“Shortlisted for the 2018 Gladstone Prize, Royal Historical Society”
“This is the best one volume interpretive history of the historical, intellectual, philosophical, and political origins of the ideal of republicanism in the late Ottoman Empire and in the Turkish Republic after its creation in 1923.
