While there is no shortage of books on Mustafa Kemal Atatürk released each year, few offer anything new for the researcher of the man or the early years of the Turkish republic. Rifat Bali’s collection of American consular documents pertaining to Atatürk does, however, make such a contribution to the study of the man and Turkish-American relations of the 1920s and 1930s. The documents were collected from the American National Archives and shed light on Atatürk’s life and personality with a closeness which has often not been possible. The consular reports come from three American ambassadors, Grew, Sherrill and Skinner, who served during Atatürk’s tenure as president of Turkey. Bali has added six of his own articles about Atatürk in addition to the archival sources. The book also includes a forward by Andrew Mango, who has written a widely-acclaimed biography of Atatürk.

Leshono Suryoyo

John Healey’s, Leshono Suryoyo, is an introductory grammar for those wishing to learn to read Classical Syriac, one of the major literary dialects of Aramaic and the language of one of the main groups of Middle Eastern churches, including the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Church of the East, and the Chaldaean Church. From the first centuries of the Christian era, Syriac was used by the main theological and historical writers of this tradition (Ephrem the Syrian, Philoxenus of Mabbogh, Thomas of Marga, and Barhebraeus). It also continues to be used in worship.
