The Code Of The Tufans

"It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases."
F. Schiller

This is not a work of fiction. In The Code of the Tufans, Alp Tufan—insider, survivor, and witness—breaks decades of silence to reveal the hidden world of Turkish intelligence as he lived it. Drawing from real events, Tufan takes readers deep into the labyrinth of espionage and counter-espionage.

From secret NATO operations and the mysteries of the Ottoman archives to the Rosicrucian Brotherhood, and the secrecy of the Soviet Union, Tufan's journey traverses the shadowy intersections of the Turkish army, World War II legacies, and the clandestine networks that spanned Europe. He exposes the truth behind masonic operations and the real-life inspirations for the legendary Turkish TV series, The Valley of the Wolves.

Told with the urgency and authenticity of someone who lived through the most turbulent times in the Turkish state's secret world, this book is a rare, unfiltered account of power, betrayal, and survival. Alp Tufan's story is a testament to the reality that, in the world of intelligence, the truth is often more astonishing than fiction.
