[This] second volume [of Halide Edib?s memoirs] is an account of the Turkish Revolution. Halide Edib relates her role in fanning the flames of Turkish nationalism; in aiding the newly-formed ?rebel? government of Mustapha Kemal in Angora, as one of its inner council; in fighting, as corporal and sergeant, in the battle-lines during the long campaign against the Greek armies in Anatolia; in the taking of Smyrna, with its tragic accompaniments; and finally as interpreter in the councils of the Powers when the war was brought to a close. (From: Political Science Quarterly, Vol. 44, No. 3. (Sep., 1929), pp. 462-464)
