In this first ever biography of Fethullah G len in English, Jon Pahl walks us in a journey of wisdom and controversy, from Turkey of 1940s to the United States in the twenty-first century, exploring the story of the man and the social movement he has inspired. This is the story of a pious Muslim boy born in a tiny and remote Turkish village who on one hand has come to inspire a global movement of millions of individuals dedicated to literacy, social enterprise, and interreligious dialogue, and who was monitored by police and seen as a threat by the autocrats of his own country, and (most recently) has been declared the number one enemy by the current Turkish dictator on the other.
