The Great Speech

By Melike Melis, ATATÜRK MUSTAFA KEMAL, Çağlayan Tolga

In the spring of 1919, a defeated empire stood on the edge of collapse. Foreign armies occupied its lands, its government had lost its will, and its people were left in despair. From this darkness rose a single, determined vision: the belief that a nation could save itself through its own will and independence.

This book is a powerful first-hand account of the birth of a national resistance movement. It reveals the political intrigues, military struggles, and moral dilemmas faced during the final days of an empire and the dawn of a new state. Through vivid descriptions and uncompromising honesty, it portrays how scattered local efforts were transformed into a unified national struggle.

More than a historical narrative, this work is a testament to courage, leadership, and the unbreakable spirit of a people who refused to accept defeat. It tells the story of how independence was not granted, but earned-through sacrifice, unity, and an unshakable faith in national sovereignty.

A timeless document of resistance and rebirth, this book invites the reader to witness how a nation rose from ruin and chose freedom over submission.
