^{#smrgKİTABEVİ} The Communists and the Kadro Movement: Shaping Ideology in Atatürk's Turkey - 2002

My work on the Turkish Communists Party began in the depths of the Cold War with the publications in 1968 of the Origins of Communism in Turkey. That study covered the legal phase of Communist experience in Turkey, a period ending in 1925. At the time when that analysis was completed, documentation available to me appeared too sparse to permit tracing the continuation of the party as an underground entity or to elucidate, except in the most sketchy fashion, the relationship of the Communist movement to the ideologists who attempted to develop a systematic formulation of Kemalism in Turkey.
