Erdoğan's War: A Strongman's Struggle at Home and in Syria

Gönül Tol

Tol’s fascinating book... for all its rich detail, is not really about Syria and still less about the countless Syrians whose lives were ended, immiserated, or impoverished as [Erdoğan] tried and failed to realize his ambitions there. It’s about the corrupting effect of power.
