Recent events in Turkey have raised the question "Quo Vadis?" not only for Turkey but also for the Turkish army. Anyone who wants to understand the tradition of this army, the thinking and the intentions of its hitherto Kemalist general staff, must delve far into history - pre-Ottoman, Ottoman and Turkish.
"It is touching that an officer of the Bundeswehr with years of military experience in Turkey is writing about the Turkish army. In a way, he is following in the tradition of numerous officers who put their impressions and experiences on paper, especially after the First World War. The best known among them is Liman von Sanders Pascha. Eckhard Lisec does not write down his memoirs, but presents the Turkish army to the reader in all its long tradition. Like his writing predecessors, however, he does so in a positive spirit".
