What exactly is the MIT, the Turkish intelligence service? What is its structure and mission with the new legal framework? What technical means does it have at its disposal? What is its role in Tayyip Erdogan's neo-Ottoman strategy? Is it legally permissible to kidnap or even kill "enemies" abroad? What was its involvement in the assassination of three Kurdish PKK leaders in Paris in 2013? What are its front organizations and how do they recruit informants? What is the role of the MIT in accounting for support to jihadist organizations in Syria, Libya, and the Caucasus? What are its networks in the Middle East, Africa, the United States, and Europe? What are the paramilitary organizations in Turkey and abroad?

This work, completely revised and updated, offers a wealth of information, provides answers to the previous questions, and sheds light on the operational workings of contemporary MIT. It is a manual for understanding Turkey's strategy in the 21st century through the analysis and study of its intelligence services. The book was recently published in France and is currently nominated for the 2021 French Prime Minister's Literature Award.
