In the work, which describes the life of İsmet İnönü from his birth to his death in 1884, it is possible to read in a satisfactory way the characteristics of İnönü as a soldier and statesman, his character and the political atmosphere of his period.
İnönü's victorious commander of the War of Independence, the resilient diplomat of Lausanne, the trusted state administrator of Atatürk, his success in keeping Turkey out of the war with his astuteness and smart policies during the Second World War, his democracy in 1950 when he handed over his power to the opposition with the laws he prepared. His struggle against the military junta, which wanted to completely eliminate the parliamentary system after 1960, is presented to the reader in detail.
The realistic and cold-blooded personality of İnönü, the follower of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's revolutions and his second man, draws attention.
