Jeremy Seal set out across Turkey, in the extremes of winter, to trace the astonishing history of a cone-shaped hat. He soon saw the fez as the key by which Turkey, beset by contradictions, might be understood. An engaging and agile mix of history and travel, politics and reportage, 'A Fez of the Heart' is a deeply instructive piece of contemporary social history as well as a highly entertaining insight into the bizarre struggle for the soul of contemporary Turkey.
