"This volume has three related intentions. First, to offer a brief discussion of Fethullah Gèulen, based in part on interviews with people who have known him and/or worked with him in the course of his life. Second, to explore Gèulen's thought, based on three sources: his voluminous writings; his actions as they have reflected his writings over the years; further interviews with many individuals who have been influenced by and/or inspired by him to think and/or to act in particular ways. Third, to engage the bases for the attacks that have been directed at Fethullah Gèulen over the years from different directions, but in particular those that have been organized and directed by the Turkish government since 2013"--
