In writing this manuscript the authors owe many debts of gratitude. We would like to thank our publisher Michael Dwyer and his team at Hurst and Co. for all their hard work and effort. We benefited from the comments of the first and second readers of this manuscript, which we appreciate. We are also thankful for the support of Professor Rory Miller of the Georgetown University School of the Foreign Service in Qatar and Professor Michael Kerr of the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at Kings College London.

While conducting research for this book, which involved several trips to Turkey, we received logistical support and advice from friends old and new. Thanks are due to Ceren Kenar, Aykan Erdemir, Nuray Mert, Kumru Baser, Firuzan Melike Sumertas, Irfan Askan, Gulcan Barut, Burak Kurkcu, Ezgi Cestepe, Ralph Hubbell III, Koray Serdar Tekin and Erkan and Pinar Kandemir. We are also grateful to our interviewees for taking the time out of their busy schedules to talk to us. A special thank you to Nesil Cazimoglu and Rivka Bihar.

We would like to thank our dear parents, Antony and Bonnie Waldman, and Giliman and Ismail Caliskan. It is to them that this book is lovingly dedicated.
