This book tells the extraordinary journey of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk toward the founding of the Republic, illuminated by real historical documents and authentic sources.

It is the story of a nation rising from the ruins of an empire, and of a leader who transformed despair into determination, and occupation into independence. From the fog-covered shores of Samsun to the birth of a new state, every step of this journey is traced through official records, speeches, letters, and eyewitness accounts.

This is not a fictional tale, but a living testimony of history ? revealing how a single will united a fragmented people and reshaped their destiny.

Through these pages, the reader will witness:
the collapse of an old order,
the awakening of national consciousness,
and the construction of a republic founded on sovereignty and freedom.

This unique story is not only the chronicle of a revolution,
but the portrait of a vision that changed the course of a nation forever.

A powerful narrative of leadership, courage, and the enduring strength of national will ? told through the light of historical truth.
