The year is 1918. The Great War, which witnessed the bloodiest clashes in history, has finally ended. Forty million people died, countries were destroyed, maps were changed. The winners are dominated by joy mixed with exhaustion, and the defeated are dominated by grief mixed with fear. However, there is another common emotion shared by both some of the winners and some of the defeated: Anger!
England and France are angry because they paid a heavy price for the victory. They strangle Germany with the Versailles Peace Treaty, which contains harsh conditions in order to punish and even kill Germany. The Germans, who were already in a severe tantrum with the shock of defeat, were driven completely mad by this agreement, which condemned them to hunger and even greater humiliation. “They are a glorious nation with a great historical past; How could they have been defeated, how could their limbs have been so brutally amputated? How could their country be invaded when they tried to invade the world? Defeat aside, how could they be starved to the point of eating stray animals? They search for the guilty without looking in the mirror: Who and which traitors put them in this situation?
Hunger, helplessness and shame, accompanied by the trauma of defeat, fell like a nightmare on millions; As if searching for an oasis in the desert, Germany searched for a hero who would change its bad fortune. Before long, one of the candidates disappears. His name is Adolf. He is a war veteran whose personality was shaped by authority, whose dreams about life were left unfinished, who became a prisoner of various complexes and who could not digest the defeat brought by the war. He feeds himself on "glorious history", breathes on "military service" and speaks well. It was as if the Germany of that day was embodied in his person...
“Follow me, I know those who put us in this situation, we will destroy them first and then the world; We will establish Greater Germany!” says Adolf. This is how the march of shame that will sweep the world under the leadership of a nation whose soul, body and mind is wounded, and a person whose soul, body and mind are sick, begins...

Man came into existence.
He became the master, but mostly the slave.
In a way, class became destiny. People have been at war with oppression, exploitation and injustice since day one. He revolted in 1789, "freedom, equality, fraternity!" he said, shed blood, died, overthrew tyrants. With the French Revolution, there seemed to be hope, but the Industrial Revolution re-established the old order; The boss came instead of the master, the worker came instead of the slave. There was a person called Karl Marx. He said capitalism is trouble, class struggle is what we call history. He dreamed of communism. There would be brotherhood not class, camaraderie not exploitation. It's like heaven on earth. Such a world is possible, “get rid of your chains!” said. And he added: “Get free and make one last revolution!”
A person named Lenin appeared in Russia and said, “yes, it is possible!” said. First he overthrew the Tsar, then everything. The Soviet Union made Russia. It would be a communist paradise on earth. But this was a very different communism than imagined. The stitches didn't hold up, a terror machine was created to make them work.
Its name was KGB...
He burned, destroyed and crushed in the name of a better world. The more he crushed, the more he crushed, the more he grew, the more he crushed. It took over half the world through revolutions and coups; He watched everyone, listened to everyone; He created a state of fear from the ideal of heaven. He destroyed freedoms in the name of freedom and people in the name of humanity.
Even those who feed and raise themselves...
And one day, he buried the dream of paradise that he had built with his own hands, as a nightmare that turned into hell, with his own hands.
Perhaps this was the story of a revolution made in the wrong place, at the wrong time, from the very beginning...
Secret services, agents, spies…
These three concepts, which sparked sparks in our minds when we encountered them and started to turn the wheels of conspiracy, became the main actors of history as well as literature, cinema and popular culture. Intelligence has become an important part of life since the time when officials were called "the eyes and ears of the king" by the Persians, keeping their eyes open for possible dangers that could threaten the power.
Chinese sage Sun Tzu said in the 5th century BC: “He who knows his enemies knows himself.” Even though he became the father of intelligence by saying, secret information collection was carried out by amateurs and inexperienced until the 19th century.
The intelligence officers, who started to warm up little by little on the sidelines during the First World War, went to the field as a full squad with the Second World War, and started a fierce fight for the championship after the Cold War that followed. The CIA, which left its mark on intelligence wars in the 20th century, continues to be one of the most important actors of this never-ending struggle.
With this work by Ali Çimen called Eyes of the President / CIA, you will see under what conditions and why the CIA was founded, get to know its founding actors and witness its infancy. Then, you will watch how it rapidly developed with the Cold War, and you will read its exciting story that took shape in a geography that spread from South America to the Himalayas, from the Middle East to the Far East, on behalf of the USA, which set itself a mission of "defending and popularizing human rights and democracy". .
“When we look at the past, we see that a male-dominated navigation prevailed. It was mostly men who rebelled against the earth-centered understanding of the universe, who took swords and went on expeditions, who opened and ended eras by taking cities, who discovered continents, who opened the doors of unlimited energy to humankind by splitting the atom, who left the world and went into space for the first time, who started revolutions or who followed the masses with a speech. .
So, does this mean that men have always played leading roles on the silver screen of history? So, is it always the duty of women to play the "best supporting actor" role? Of course not.
There have been such women who have emerged from the minefield of history that they have been sitting on for centuries, there is no mistake in the simile, those very "well-known" men could not help but sweat even under the shadow of the magnificence of these women!”
This is how journalist and author Ali Çimen begins his new book, Women Who Changed History, in his series "Those Who Changed History" and hosts many famous women in its pages. Women who changed history, from Cleopatra who took the Roman Empire under her control to Kösem Sultan who controlled the Ottoman Empire, from Madam Curie who deciphered the secret language of atoms to Rosa Parks, the black female activist who challenged racism, are on these pages...
The book is a very good work that tells about the women who changed the course of world history, avoiding boring details. Ali Çimen's fluent and interesting style makes the text even more readable. In this work, you will find the untold contributions of women, who are generally seen behind men, to world history.
The History Changers series continues with perhaps one of the most interesting books of the series: Dictators Who Changed History. Ali Çimen, one of the most important writers of popular history literature, this time focuses on 15 dictators who changed world history.
OfAli Çimen's book, which evaluates in his own style the lives of 15 dictators who found the right to play with the fate of people and humanity, has a rich visual archive.
While getting to know these characters who played an important role in history, you will actually be re-reading world history; You will take a journey through history, from ancient times to the twentieth century, that will sometimes make you laugh, sometimes make you sad, but often make you think.

With MAGNA CARTA, we say "Stop!" to the despotic ruler. With the RENAISSANCE, humanity removed the obstacles to the mind and discovered itself. With the FRENCH REVOLUTION, we overthrew the monarchies and said "I'm in too!" said.
With ENLIGHTENMENT, he discovered the mind and opened the door to the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. In 1917, this time, the OCTOBER REVOLUTION said "Stop!" to the class exploitation created by this revolution. said. It developed and became rich with science and technology; However, it reset itself with two world wars and the GREAT ECONOMIC CRISIS sandwiched between them. He brought down a monster like HITLER, born from this reset, with the NORMANDIAN INVASION. He didn't just lay it out; He also started the ATOM AGE with a unique weapon he used to make his accomplice give up. The JEWISH GENOCIDE, which took place in parallel with all these, was engraved as a black stain on his forehead, and his conscience died. With his immortal mind, he started the COLD WAR and established a new bipolar order in the middle of which the EUROPEAN UNION rose. While filling the Earth with nuclear weapons to win the Cold War, he explored the universe with the SPACE RACE. While leaving the borders of the world, the BERLIN WALL left those who spoke the same language longing for each other. The day came and witnessed the collapse of the SOVIET UNION.

THEY MADE DECISIONS, CHANGED HISTORY...
Civilization historians Will and Ariel Durant, in their work titled The Story of Civilization, say that "out of 3421 years of written history, only 28 years have passed without war."
We took up the sword for land in KADESH and for love in TRUVA. We fought for Islam in BEDIR, and met Islam in TALAS. We laid the foundations of the Seljuks in DANDANAKAN and leaned on the gates of Anatolia in MALAZGIRT. While we dispersed the Westerners during the CRUSADES, we were dispersed against the Mongols in KÖSEDAĞ. We witnessed the British sailing to the oceans in the HUNDRED YEARS' WARS, Timur entering Anatolia in ANKARA, and the Ottomans landing in the Middle East in the EGYPTIAN EXPEDITION. While we made the Ottoman Empire a world power in MOHAC, we established a new world with the THIRTY YEARS' WAR. We fought against Napoleon in WATERLOO, against the slavers in the AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, against the Nazis in STALINGRAD, and against the Allies in NORMANDIA. We settled scores with the communists in KOREA and the capitalists in VIETNAM. And on many other fronts, regardless of language, religion, time and geography, we have been fighting non-stop for as long as we can remember as human beings... We have destroyed bodies with swords and armor with maces. We split the earth with bombs and the sky with airplanes. We won victories and experienced defeats. They shed a lot of our blood, we shed a lot of their blood.
WE FIGHTED, WE MADE HISTORY…

From the overbearing ROMMEL to STALIN, who wanted to save his country from fascist Germany...
Dozens of them…
They were all soldiers.
With every "ATTACK!" The date changed with his order.

Our modern world today is faced with the reality of cultural, political and economic globalization. And at the basis of this entire process lies the period of time we call the Age of Exploration and the conquest of Istanbul behind it. In the 15th and 16th centuries, two nations, the Spanish and the Portuguese, threw themselves into the oceans in fear of their lives after the Ottomans captured Istanbul in 1453 and seized the trade routes to the East. Their aim was to bypass the Ottomans by finding alternative routes without depending on Muslims for trade. And they did. Things changed when Columbus reached the American continent instead of India. They faced a huge continent with great wealth. The search for an alternative route between Spain and Portugal first turned into a war of territorial gain, then colonialism, and finally, with the involvement of other great powers, an all-out struggle for world division. What we call imperialism; This process, filled with pain, blood and tears, led first to world wars, then to the Cold War and finally to the reality we call globalization. In summary, the world order we live in today has been shaped. But this was only one side of the coin.
Dark side...
Behind the process that started with discoveries, there were not only greedy imperialists, but also brave, determined, stubborn sailors, politicians and scientists who were thirsty for discovery and knowledge. Just as those who formed the first group were the perpetrators of the West that we criticize so much today, those in the second group laid the foundations of the face we admire. But, in a twist of fate, the first and second places all acted together. While one of the aims of this book is to help you better understand the world we live in geographically and politically, another is to build a healthy and balanced perspective on that powerful political structure we call the West, which has settled right in the middle of our lives.

Jules Verne's "A Trip to the Moon" was the first book my mother bought me. I was ten years old when I started daydreaming in the corridors of the boarding school, looking at the black and white drawings of the book.I couldn't take my eyes off the sky, jumping from one star to another, observing the unique color of the sky, looking at the Sun from the frightening solitude of the craters on the Moon and sweating...
Twenty-four years have passed, and my eyes are still on the sky and beyond.
Even though I have not been one of the four hundred lucky people who have been able to go outside the atmosphere so far, I do not stop dreaming about it, and I can guess that you, who read these lines, share this dream of mine. However, by God's grace, even though I could not become an astronaut, I was involved in the colorful world of journalism, a profession that is at least as exciting and eye-opening. Through the doors opened by my journalist identity, I entered the space bases that I have been trying to visualize since my childhood, I met the named and unnamed heroes of our common space adventure, and I wrote and drew about them. I was part of astronaut training and witnessed first-hand the firing of huge rockets! Even though I couldn't go into space, I knocked on his door! We hope that it can be a small guide, but a great source of inspiration for our country's future explorers, scientists and perhaps astronauts...
