Madam Atatürk

The early life story of Veteran Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founding father of the Republic of Turkey and its first President, supreme commander of Turkish War of Independence, and revolutionary statesman.

After proving himself at Gallipoli in 1915, Mustafa Kemal began his journey, facing major battles against Russians on the eastern front and British in Syria, becoming the only undefeated Ottoman officer in WW1.

This in-depth documentary examines the life of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who founded the Republic of Turkey from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was virtually unknown until 1919, when he took the lead in thwarting the victorious Allies' plan to partition the Turkish core of the Ottoman Empire. He divided the Allies, defeated the last Sultan, and secured the territory of the Turkish national state, becoming the first president of the new republic in 1923, fast creating his own legend. Andrew Mango's revealing portrait of Atatürk throws light on matters of great importance today-resurgent nationalism, religious fundamentalism, and the reality of democracy.

When Mustafa Kemal Atatürk became the first president of Turkey in 1923, he set about transforming his country into a secular republic where nationalism sanctified by science–and by the personality cult Atatürk created around himself–would reign supreme as the new religion. This book provides the first in-depth look at the intellectual life of the Turkish Republic's founder.

"Madam Butterfly" is the 7th album by American soul/R&B group Tavares, produced by Bobby Martin and released in 1979 on the Capitol label. By this stage in the group's career, they had become known as a disco act due to successful singles such as "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel", "Whodunit" and "More Than a Woman." However, Madam Butterfly is noted for its lack of anything approaching disco material, and, as such, is considered to be more akin in style to the group's 1973-'75 albums than to their '76-'78 Freddie Perren-produced output.
