摘要：This book review on Halil ‹nalc›k has been written in dialogue form,
between him and the author. Prof. ‹nalc›k, an authority in Ottoman
history informs the readers on various topics, as well as giving
pleasant fragments from his fulfilling life. The book gives an
account of events and the backgrounds of events ranging from the
Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Turkey, also citing many
documents to verify these. There is a bibliography of books and
articles by Halil ‹nalc›k and a detailed biography at the end of the
book. This review also brings a critical view of the lack of a subject
index for the book and mentions how indexes add to the value of
books. A sample index is given at the end.
