From Ankara with War: How MIT Redefined Turkish Power
They operated in the shadows. They redefined modern warfare. They turned mosques into command centers and schools into ideological battlegrounds.
In From Ankara with War: How MIT Redefined Turkish Power, author Borna Ahadi unravels the secret empire built by Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT)-an empire forged in proxy battles, drone strikes, ideological warfare, and covert diplomacy.
This is not just the story of a spy agency. It is the story of a new doctrine-one that mixes religion, nationalism, and ruthless pragmatism into a potent weapon of regional domination. From Libya to Syria, from the Caucasus to the Horn of Africa, MIT's fingerprints are found on every front where Turkey's influence has grown and Western oversight has failed.
Through a compelling narrative grounded in fact and driven by real-world events, this book uncovers how MIT evolved from a Cold War-era watchdog into an aggressive geopolitical force. It sheds light on key players like Hakan Fidan, the mastermind behind MIT's expansion; explores the fall of the Kurdish peace talks; documents MIT's secret war against the PKK and ISIS; and tracks Turkey's ideological export through the Ma'arif Foundation and global mosque networks.
From the failed 2016 coup to clandestine arms shipments and deep ties with Islamist groups, From Ankara with War presents a full-spectrum view of the tools MIT uses to build influence and reshape power.
Whether you're a student of intelligence, a follower of Middle Eastern affairs, or a reader fascinated by shadow warfare, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about modern conflict.
It's not just a regional story-it's the blueprint for a 21st-century empire.
This is the untold history of MIT.
This is the war from Ankara.
