In this groundbreaking book, historian Justin McCarthy traces Turkey's rise to prominence, from the collapse of the Ottoman Empire to the present day. McCarthy argues that Turkey's success is due in part to its unique geographic position, which has allowed it to play a pivotal role in trade and diplomacy.

However, McCarthy also highlights the challenges that Turkey faces as it seeks to maintain its influence in the region. Turkey is a Muslim-majority country, but it is also a secular democracy. This duality has led to tensions with both the Islamic world and the West.

Turkey is also facing challenges from within. The country is deeply divided along political lines, and there is a growing sense of nationalism. These divisions could threaten Turkey's stability and its ability to play a constructive role in the region.
