Praise for Fealty and Fury: A Psychobiography of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan by Cemal Dindar:
“Is it easy to understand and narrate Erdoğan’s story? Not actually. Cemal is one of only ones to accomplished this hard work. Reading his analysis, we can easily understand and predict Erdoğan’s way of thinking and reactions. Thanks to his analysis, now we know the source of his ability in agenda-setting and -changing. We become familiar with his meticulous plans on what to say and when to say something. It is not surprising anymore to see him act like a handy football player when he misleads his political opponents, throwing them a curve and scoring a goal. We also find the shortcomings of Erdoğan, which enables us to understand him better.”
—Dr. Celal Odağ, Psycoanalyst and Ass. Professor of Psychiatry,
Halime Odağ Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Foundation, İzmir
“Dindar’s book is a piece of wonderfully thought-provoking and challenging work. The psycho-biography of the man Erdogan, and his analysis of national and international, political and social contexts are beautifully intertwined, and written in a style that is poetic as well as scientific. It offers a refreshing perspective on the recent history of Turkey, and made me wonder if Erdogan and his passage from ‘brother’ to ‘chief’ is not a mirror of the parallel phenomena in European countries where populisms have an appearance of a bond of brotherhood, while the other face is an authoritarian lead where people and leader are clung together in a symbiotic tie.”

“Cemal Dindar’s Fealty and Fury: A Psychobiography of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is an important and courageous effort.”
