Bilâl N. Şimşir

Bilâl Nuri Şimşir (1933–2023) was a Turkish diplomat, ambassador, and historical writer whose books use official documents to study Atatürk-era foreign relations and the Balkans. British Documents on Atatürk, 1919-1938 assembles an external diplomatic record of the Turkish national struggle and early Republic, allowing readers to follow how British officials interpreted changing events. British Documents on Ataturk Volume1-8 identifies the larger multi-volume documentary project and should be approached as a reference set rather than a continuous narrative. Balkan Savaslarinda Rumeli Türkleri Kirimlar - Kiyimlar - Göcler 1821 - 1913 addresses violence, displacement, and migration in Rumelia under its original title. For a coherent entry, British Documents on Atatürk, 1919-1938 best displays Şimşir's documentary method.
