Turkey's July 15th Coup - What Happened and Why

Focuses on the historical and sociopolitical contexts of the Gülen Movement's origins and political ascendancy, along with its possible role in the failed July 2016 coup in Turkey. This is a comprehensive assessment of numerous dimensions of Gülenist activities, including its social and political networks and the institutions that supported the movement as it became a major economic and educational force.
