Description
With vivid prose and unparalleled scholarship, the author paints a vibrant portrait of the Young Turks, a diverse group of intellectuals, military officers, and students united by a shared vision of a modernized and prosperous Turkey. Their clandestine meetings, daring plots, and unwavering determination to overthrow the oppressive regime of Sultan Abdulhamid II are brought to life in vivid detail.
The book explores the complex ideological landscape of the Young Turks, their struggle to balance Ottomanism, Islamism, Turkism, Westernization, and modernization, and their attempts to navigate the treacherous waters of international politics. It sheds light on their economic and social policies, their efforts to reform education, healthcare, and the legal system, and their attempts to address the plight of women and minorities.

However, the challenges they faced in the aftermath of their victory were formidable. The book delves into the economic turmoil, ethnic tensions, and the looming threat of war that tested their resolve and threatened to derail their dreams for a unified and progressive Turkey.
