It examines such issues as Turkey's inclusion in NATO and application to the European Union, and its involvement with the politics of the Middle East.

    I messaged the seller, concerned that no photos were posted. I had questions abt this specific book's condition. Vladimir promptly replied, that inventory was too large to be able to comment on this specific book, but could be returned if unhappy. So I bought it, and am very happy. The price was very competitive, in better condition than I had expected, and sent in a shipping bag. There was no other packing/wrapping which may be an issue for some but wasn't for me. Recommending seller!

    +Items as described. +Shipped quickly +Good value for price -Multiple books ordered and were wrapped together in one thin plastic bag with no internal protection, so when the bag ripped (in transit, USPS), the books were exposed to the elements. Good thing they weren’t too badly damaged upon arrival. Shipping was delayed, but that was on USPS, not the seller. -Books were a little stale smelling, but to be expected with used books in an uncontrolled environment ++Overall, seller recommended!
