Ataturk has some of the stock features of a modern dictator (marathon table-talk before a tired but terrified court, a long-unburied, venerated corpse), except the ascetic postures. A well-tailored womanizer addicted to nightlife, whose liver eventually gave out. A British diplomat described how a hungover Ataturk, awakened in the Park Hotel by a muezzin call, had the mosque torn down. Lenin played by Errol Flynn.

Finished Turkey Unveiled. I read it pretty fast and had to skip over 1 chapter. The chapter I skipped was really complicated so I just skipped over it. It was about 20 pages. Other than that- this book was informative and it was interesting learning the deep history of a country that's not my own.
