Kazım Karabekir - İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti

THE SOCIETY OF CUP AND PROGRESS
HISTORY WRITTEN FIRST HAND…

“…The feelings of freedom that have permeated the souls of patriots for years have re-manifested [revealed] in the form of an ideal, and have rapidly united the active, thoughtful, self-sacrificing, virtuous and self-sacrificing children of the nation and confronted the danger. As a result of this fusion, the Union and Progress is the society established with the aim of proving in practice that the real owner of the country is not just the sultan and his followers, but also the nation that earned it and tried to protect it at the expense of its blood.”

Kâzım Karabekir

Our series about Kâzım Karabekir, one of the unforgettable figures of Turkish military and political history, continues with a reference work written by him. Kâzım Karabekir, who took part in the most sensitive events during critical periods throughout his 66-year life, sheds light on the history of the Committee of Union and Progress, which left its mark on the last years of the Ottoman Empire.

In this work prepared with the editorial contributions of military historian-writer Erhan Çifci, Karabekir, one of the important members of the Committee of Union and Progress, gives very interesting information about how the military and political wings of the Committee were established. While Karabekir begins his work by making explanations about the reasons for writing about the Union and Progress, he shares with the readers very valuable anecdotes under various headings about the process that led to the expansion of the Society and its having a say in the future of the country.

With these aspects, the book is one of the most important works written about the "Committee of Union and Progress".
