<I>Silent Capitulations: The Kemalist Republic Under Assault</I> brings to life the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Turkish political life. It paints an uncompromising picture of a regime determined to appease European skeptics of Turkish adhesion to the European Union by capitulating to their demands on all fronts.</p><p>Turkey's inability to unite its eastern and western parts is attributed to the dominance of an oligarchy of feudal lords tribal chiefs big business and a ruling class who all masquerade as if they are part of a functioning democracy. Suffering from the ravages of tribal conformity and tainted by corruption and cronyism the society is showing signs of an astonishing degree of deterioration. When municipal governments are a relic of the past and taxation is a tangle of dysfunctional measures when justice is crippled by archaic arrangements and a web of vested interests control corporations-the nation is indeed under attack.</p><p>Using arguments developed through the use of events and anecdotes author Sedat Sami offers a deep examination of the Turkish social and political scene as well as a dramatic account of the Islamist onslaught against the Kemalist Republic.
