is often in the centre of the image.
The book has a different, second jacket, as pictured above.
At the back, Atatürk’s address to the Turkish youth is set as simply as possible so as not to detract from the content.
This book was also published in a Turkish version as Atatürk, Değişim ve uluslaşma süreci.
