No Going Back - The Fight for Turkey's Soul: The Insider Story of The Upheaval in Turkey

No Going Back plunges readers into the heart of Turkey's recent upheaval, weaving an insider's account of democratic resistance, economic hardship, and political transformation. Through the eyes of someone who lived every twist firsthand, this book chronicles the government's crackdown on opposition municipalities, the daily struggles of ordinary citizens, and the extraordinary rise of Ekrem İmamoğlu-a once-unknown mayor who became a national symbol of hope. As the ruling party tightened its grip, İmamoğlu's resilience and the Republican People's Party's resurgence electrified the country, rallying millions behind a new vision for Turkey's future.

More than a chronology, this is a vivid portrait of a society fighting to reclaim its voice. From mass protests defending local democracy to the surge of grassroots activism and the CHP's historic victories, No Going Back reveals how the battle for Turkey's soul played out in city halls, crowded streets, and everyday lives. For Western readers seeking to understand the stakes and spirit of modern Turkey, this book offers an urgent, personal, and unforgettable window into a nation at a crossroads.
