In Angora with Mustafa Kemal: (In Ankora with Atatürk)

By Alaeddine Haidar

In late 1920, journalist Alaeddine Ha dar traveled from occupied Constantinople into Nationalist-held Anatolia to report on a movement most of Europe had written off as a bandit rebellion. This slim, vivid account of his journey, through the Black Sea port of Inebolu, across the Anatolian mountains, and into Ankara, includes a rare face-to-face interview with Mustafa Kemal and a visit to the celebrated writer Halide Edib Adıvar. Written in French for a Western readership at the height of the Turkish War of Independence, it offers an intimate, partisan, and surprisingly readable window into the birth of modern Turkey. This new English translation makes it accessible for the first time to a general audience.
