The Endless Country is a resoundingly successful attempt to tell Turkey's history - the first 100 years since the founding of the republic - through Kent's own story of coming back to the land of his father.
Kent uncovers the country layer by layer, reeling in horror at past crimes of genocide and state repression, awed by tales of generosity and courage. The book intertwines the personal and political aspects of Turkey's history.
