A Sultan in Autumn is at his most dangerous. Soner Çagaptay gives a full account of Erdogan at this critical period. A crystal-clear report on the rise and fall of a quasi-dictator in the age of rising global authoritarianism.

Comprehensive and clear-eyed political analysis of Turkey under Erdogan, a leader whose complicated dance with internal and external actors has taken Turkey away from democracy, but, on a note of hope, perhaps not taken democracy away from Turkey. A must-read for anyone wishing to understand how Turkey came to its current state and what might happen next.
