{"product_id":"crescent-and-star-turkey-between-two-worlds","title":"Crescent and Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds","description":"\"A sharp, spirited appreciation of where Turkey stands now, and where it may head.\" ―Carlin Romano, The Philadelphia Inquirer\n\nIn the first edition of this widely praised book, Stephen Kinzer made the convincing claim that Turkey was the country to watch -- poised between Europe and Asia, between the glories of its Ottoman past and its hopes for a democratic future, between the dominance of its army and the needs of its civilian citizens, between its secular expectations and its Muslim traditions.\n\nIn this newly revised edition of Crescent and Star, he adds much important new information on the many exciting transformations in Turkey's government and politics that have kept it in the headlines, and also shows how recent developments in both American and European policies (and not only the war in Iraq) have affected this unique and perplexing nation.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374531404\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0374531404.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kinzer, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
