Beside his death bed wept his sister and two of his most intimate friends: Ali Fethi Okyar, Ambassador to the Court of St. James's who had stood faithfully by the Grey Wolf's side when Atatürk was waging a desperate uphill battle to save Turkey from dismemberment after the World War; and Sabiha Gökgen, one of his five adopted daughters, who is a Turkish Air Force pilot.* One grief-stricken friend. Salih Bozuk, put a pistol...
