World-shaking revolutions in Russia in 1905 and 1917, in Ottoman Turkey in 1908, World War I, the defeat of the Central Powers and triumph of the Entente, the Turkish War of Independence and the establishment of the new Turkish nation state under Atatürk, and the establishment of Azerbaijan: These events form the backdrop to Ahmet Agaoglu’s life, which spanned the momentous period from 1869-1939. This intellectual biography of this major player is a striking entry point through which these turbulent times are brought sharply into relief.

""... a very interesting book ... It manages to place the life story of Ahmet Agaoglu in the Imperial twilight of the Russians and Ottomans ... The attempt to trace the intellectual influences Agaoglu underwent ... in the Caucasus and then in St. Petersburg and Paris is particularly successful."" -- Erik J Zürcher, University of Leiden
""Shissler ... is a brilliant thinker and scholar ... her scholarly and analytic abilities are the very highest ... her book ... I am sure will be very well received."" -- Nikki Keddie, UCLA
