Mr. Ahmad in the first pages of the book gives the role of the Turkish army throughout the whole history and he tries to show that the military in turkish case inevitably had to be involved in governmental affairs. this is because of the fact that army in all post-colonial states- though Turkey is not postcolonial- constitutes a layer of modernized elites. after reading this book once again I concluded that why bureaucracy and military in third world cuonrtries are relatively more powerful than democratic institutions. especially the role of turkish army for the interruption of democratic process can not be reputable fact. the turkish army has interfered three times -1960, 1971,1990- since the foundation of the republic. the main reason for these interruption for Mr. Ahmad is that army lost its elitist position vis-a-vis the indigeneous groups gradually taking the leading position in society. for securing its position according to Mr. ahmad army intevened political life.
