Book Synopsis
Examines the intense struggle between Turkey's secularists and Islamists in their most recent battles over their country's destination. Looking into the fate of both Turkey's secularism and its democratic experiment, this shows that the modern Turkish state has managed to maintain an essential separation between religion and the political realm - a separation that is now in jeopardy.
