A landmark work in Middle Eastern and Ottoman studies, The Emergence of Modern Turkey chronicles the dramatic transformation of the Ottoman Empire into the secular, westernised Turkish Republic of the twentieth century. Bernard Lewis, one of the foremost Western historians of the Islamic world, presents a sweeping narrative that traces the ideological, political, and social forces that reshaped Turkish society from the eighteenth century through to the mid-twentieth century. The work details the tangled interplay of nationalism, secularism, and Islamic tradition, illuminating how reformers such as Atatürk dismantled centuries of Ottoman governance to construct a modern nation-state. Authoritative and meticulously researched, this second edition remains an indispensable reference for scholars and general readers seeking to understand the historical roots of contemporary Turkey and the broader dynamics of modernisation in the Muslim world.
