| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THIS NOVEMBER 10, at precisely 9:05 a.m., for the seventy-fifth time in the history of the Turkish Republic, the nation will grind to a halt. In Istanbul, for sixty seconds sirens will drone, ferryboat horns will blare in the Golden Horn and traffic will freeze. Throughout the country, millions of ordinary Turks will stand still and mute to mark the death anniversary of their nation's founding father. It is an impressive moment, and deservedly so. Mustafa Kemal, known to history as Kemal Ataturk ("Father of the Turks"), was an indomitable blend of soldier, diplomat, politician, intellectual and nation builder. One of the twentieth century's most remarkable leaders, he was a man of iron will and incredible vision. |
