An intelligent, in-depth review of Hugh Pope's SONS OF THE CONQUERORS appears in the Summer issue of The Claremont Review of Books. Written by John S. Gardner (Deputy Assistant to George W. Bush and Special Assistant to George H.W. Bush), the review focuses on Turkey’s relationship with the EU and the overall importance of this often ignored region in world politics today, using SONS OF THE CONQUERORS as a jumping off point for each of his issues.

“We have to be reminded that the Turkic world stretches from the Adriatic to the western deserts of China, from northern Iraq and Iran to the vast steppes of Kazakhstan and southern Russia. Hugh Pope's Sons of the Conquerors: The Rise of the Turkic World is a significant effort to correct this gap in Americans' historical and geopolitical understanding. Pope is Istanbul correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, and the book shows reportorial insight and occasional boldness.”
