Attaturk is an unacknowledged (by the West) hero of the 20th Century.

Do you know of a good biography of Attaturk ?

Unrecognized
Because he scuttled their plans?
Biography
The best one I know is called "Ataturk" and was authored by Lord Kinross. ISBN 0-688-11283-8

>>>>>Do you know of a good biography of Attaturk ?<<<<

remember Gallipoli and how The Brits used Aussies as cannon fodder who were mowed down?

Well, the Turkish commanding officer was Colonel Kemal Pasha who was promoted to General for this feat.

Of course, as a General, he was in position to owerthrow the Sultan and become Ataturk ( father of Turkey)

What's a coupla of Aussies as a price to put your man in place.

This is good lesson how things really work.

Prompted by my buddy Mort, I checked on Amazon and found that the book I had suggested is indeed out of print. There are other books there, however, you will find when you search for "Ataturk."

Scroll up a bit and look at the link Waterdragon provided Mort with. I just checked it out and there are lots of them there.
