Summary "The Rebirth of Turkey" by Clair Price is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book centers on the transformative period during and following World War I, focusing on the key figure of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, also known as Atatürk, and his efforts to turn Turkey from an old Ottoman Empire into a modern nation-state. It delves into the intricate interplay of Eastern and Western traditions and the challenges faced in this transition. At the start of the narrative, the author prepares to meet Mustapha Kemal Pasha in Angora, depicting the environment of the Grand National Assembly. Here, Price offers a striking image of Kemal, emphasizing both his military background and his aspirations for Turkey's future, which includes shifting from a military to an economic focus. He reflects on Kemal's character, acknowledging his military prestige while hinting at the complexities of adopting Western ideals in a deeply rooted Eastern society. The initial conversations reveal Kemal's pragmatic vision for Turkey's development and raise questions about the success of his transformative ambitions, setting the stage for the exploration of Turkey's rebirth amidst the shifting political landscape of the time.
