Книга «Erdogan rising» автора Ханны Люсинды Смит – это не просто биография Реджепа Тайипа Эрдогана, который стал основателем Партии справедливости и развития Турции и был её лидером с 2002 года по 15 июля 2014 года. Эта книга – подробнейший анализ того, как смена внешней политики Эрдогана привела к повышению статуса и положения его страны в мире.
Турцию часто считают промежуточной страной между Востоком и Западом, поскольку она находится на границе Европы и Ближнего Востока, а также между мусульманским и христианским миром.

Описание книги от Hannah Lucinda Smith
‘Essential reading for anyone interested in Turkey and its future.’ Literary Review‘Essential reading full stop.’ Peter Frankopan‘It is a must.’ The TimesWho is Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and how did he lead a democracy on the fringe of Europe into dictatorship? How has chaos in the Middle East blown back over Turkey’s borders? And why doesn’t the West just cut Erdogan and his regime off?Hannah Lucinda Smith has been living in Turkey as the Times correspondent for nearly a decade, reporting on the ground from the onset of the Arab Spring through terrorist attacks, mass protests, civil war, unprecedented refugee influx and the explosive, bloody 2016 coup attempt that threatened to topple – and kill – Erdogan.Erdogan Rising introduces Turkey as a vital country, one that borders and buffers Western Europe, the Middle East and the old Soviet Union, marshals the second largest army in NATO and hosts more refugees than any other nation. As president, Erdogan is the face of devotion and division, a leader who mastered macho divide-and-rule politics a decade and a half before Donald Trump cottoned on, and has used it to lead his country into spiralling authoritarianism.Yet Erdogan is no ordinary dictator. His elections are won only by slivers, and Turkey remains defined by its two warring cults: those who worship Erdogan, the wilful Muslim nationalist with a tightening authoritarian grip, and those who stand behind Ataturk, the secularist, westward-looking leader who founded the republic and remains its best loved icon – now eighty years dead.Erdogan commands a following so devoted they compose songs in his honour, adorn their homes with his picture, and lay down their lives to keep him in power. Erdogan Rising asks how this century’s most successful populist won his position, and where Turkey is headed next.
