Destiny is a novel based on the unfamiliar epic of the founding in the early Twentieth Century of the Turkish Republic and of the heroic genius Mustafa Kemal (later called Kemal Atat?rk) its creator. One of the great men of that epoch Atat?rk singlehandedly gathered up the Turkish pieces of the crumbling Ottoman Empire and fashioned a new nation designed around the principles he developed. Unique among modern military and political personalities, Atat?rk combined battlefield genius with a political will strong enough to craft a nation. Turkey today is struggling with a government that has forgotten Atat?rk's principles and, as a result, is vacillating between an Islamic theocracy and anarchy. It is the hope of the author of this book that it will serve to remind the Turkish nation of their proud history and the man who made it all possible.
