Description

This book is a synthesis of the author’s now lifetime of deep and abiding personal and professional experiences that have led to his deep understanding of the American Experience, the Mediterranean World, and U.S.-Turkish relations. The narrative guides the audience to bridges, where others may see only chasms. Oh, there are chasms for sure. The reader is transported, back and forth, from East to West, across the centuries, juxtaposing geography and discovery, politics and war, religion and the arts, terrorism, key figures and human triumphs. The goal of the journey is a better appreciation for the nature of both historic and current controversies and under-recognized extraordinary contributions that lie at the heart of the East-West dynamic. This book seeks to decode some of the presumptions and misconceptions that tend to become the prisms through which both individual and state perceptions are filtered and pose as “the truth”. These truths, like beauty, tend to vary in the eyes of the beholder.

This sizeable volume of work contains a remarkable overview of the historical, social, and religious evolutions ( as well as other aspects) of The United States, Turkey, Europe, The British Isles, and The Middle East. Such was undertaken by an author who has attained not only the highest levels of academic achievement but who is also a professor of social history, a master of four languages, an international bank director, and a world traveller in the countries of focus in this book. As a writer married to a physician from Turkey, I have lived and written about Turkey, and also compared Washington and Ataturk and the rise of democracy in both countries. This book is a very studied and astounding overview that requires studious attention. Perhaps this volume could be a series of five volumes with the first being the overview. The style is somewhat formal but direct and clear with much explanation, substantiated opinion, and clarity. For those who love to learn, here is the Book for you.Judy Light Ayyildiz, author of eleven books in five genres, including Forty Thorns
