About This Book
The author records impressions of Angora and its streets, describes a housing shortage, encounters exiled officials and local life, and offers a sympathetic portrait of the nationalist leader, presented as a disciplined strategist and spiritual rallying point whose movement draws volunteers across Anatolia and the Islamic world. The narrative examines organization of guerrilla bands, the ambiguous tactical relation with Soviet Russia, and the cultural role of Islam in resisting Bolshevism. Interwoven are literary comparisons and appeals for Western powers, especially France, to recognize emerging national aspirations and to engage respectfully to foster future friendship.
