Book Summary
Kemal Ataturk's Republic of Turkey was set up in 1923 as a secular state, sweeping political, social, and religious reforms followed. This study sets out the struggle between religion and secularism, and shows how Ataturk laboured for an idealised 'Turkish Islam' stripped of superstition and linked to modern science and positivist philosophy.
