In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments I’ve been working on this book for longer than I . smet I . nönü was President of Turkey, and during that time many colleagues and friends have helped me in numerous obvious and subtle ways. I thank Selim I . lkin and Özden Toker for their patience, their enthusiastic support of this project, and for giving me access to materials in the I . nönü Vakfı Library. I also thank Donald Quataert for his continuing support for my scholarship. Şevket Pamuk, Metin Heper, and Bob Vitalis have all taken a special interest in various manifestations of my work, and I’ve had the pleasure of exchanging ideas and swapping stories with them about the people and events of this period of Turkish history. This work originated as a PhD dissertation at the University of Texas, and I thank Wm. Roger Louis, Bob Fernea, Gail Minault, Hafez Farmayan, and Sheldon Ekland-Olson for their support and suggestions. I owe a debt of gratitude to Lee Avdoyan and Chris Murphy of the Library of Congress for their help with sources. Dan Goffman has been most supportive of my work, and I thank Howard Reed, Kemal Karpat, and Doug Howard for their interesting and useful input. My colleagues and students at SUNY-New Paltz have provided a cordial and collegial, and stimulating, atmosphere in which to work, and Larry Hauptman has been a great advocate and guide over the years. For their financial support, my thanks go to the Institute of Turkish Studies, the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, the Hoover Institution, United University Professions and SUNY- New Paltz. Michael Haggett and Michael Rinella of SUNY Press deserve credit for their fine editorial support. Finally, I am eternally grateful for the chance to know, for all too brief a time, three giants in the field: Roderic Davison, Oral Sander, and Dankwart Rustow. Thanks Pınar! ...
