The Development of Secularism in Turkey
If I am asked to recommend one book on modern Turkey, this is the one I recommend. Berkes is superior to all others because he alone examines the complex relationship between economic and technical change, and political and religious developments in the transformation of Turkey from a traditional to a secular state.... Even now, Berkes offers much that is new and critical to our understanding of modern Turkey.... It would be an excellent book to teach from.–Professor Feroz Ahmad, Boston University
