Genç Atatürk: Osmanlı Zabitinden Türk Devlet Adamına

Rate this book
Genç Atatürk bugüne kadar yazılmış Atatürk biyografilerinden farklı olarak, asker Atatürk’ü konu ediyor. George W. Gawrych 20. yüzyılın en olağanüstü devlet adamlarından birinin hakkıyla anlaşılabilmesi için, Mustafa Kemal’in askerlik kariyerinin derinlemesine incelenmesi gerektiğini ortaya koyuyor. Askerliğin, Mustafa Kemal’in eleştirel muhakemesini, kişisel değerleri ile duygusal zekâsını geliştirmesine, bir subay ve komutan olarak karşılaştığı sorunları çözerken teoriyi pratiğe dönüştürmesine nasıl yardım ettiğinin izini sürüyor.

Genç Atatürk, Mustafa Kemal’i devlet adamlığına hazırlayan askerlik sürecinin detaylı bir analizi. Bu analizde yazara yol gösteren de, arşiv belgeleriyle Mustafa Kemal’in notları, emirleri ve yazışmaları…

ABD’deki The Society of Military History’nin (Askeri Tarih Derneği)
her yıl verdiği en iyi askeri biyografi ödülünü alan Genç Atatürk titiz bir araştırmanın ürünü.

“İyi işlenmiş, kuramsal olarak zengin, iddiaları sağlam, titizlikle kaleme alınmış bir eser… Konu hakkındaki en iyi çalışma.”
M. Şükrü Hanioğlu, Princeton Üniversitesi

Considering that most studies of Ataturk's career seem to, proportionally at least, blow past his military career post-Gallipolli and pre 1922, this is a welcome addition to the source material. In addition, it is well researched and thoroughly cited and this work is then sewn together with an excellent analysis of how the self-taught scholarship in philosophy and political theory of the man was related to both his political and military leadership style.

A concise and well-researched account on the early years of Atatürk. As a military historian, the author gives very interesting insights on Atatürk's military campaigns. He successfully explains Atatürk's political and military strategies during the War of Independence. Worth read.

Whereas the book provides some ideological concepts regarding dictatorship and democracy, the author profoundly misrepresents the history and the genocidal policy of Young Turks and Abdulhamid towards the nations that lived in the country (and were a majority). The author conceals the actual mechanisms how the Turkish state built its modern identity and what the cost of that was.

The book totally lacks the perspective that it could provide to improve the Turkey of 21st century on the way of making it democratic and putting human rights in the core.
