This book explores the ways in which the Turkish public was exposed to the war, the messages used to sell it to the public, and the impact of these messages on Turkish society. Drawing on a wide range of literary and visual sources, including archival documents, newspapers, parliamentary protocols, books, poems, plays, memoirs, cartoons, and films, the book demonstrates how the Turkish state and other influential civic groups used propaganda to shape public opinion regarding the Korean War. It examines why this mattered to Turkish politicians, who saw it as an important step in achieving the country's admission to NATO, and why it mattered to Turkish people more broadly, who saw the war as a fight for universal ideas of freedom, humanity, and justice. The book also compares the Turkish case to other states that participated in the war, highlighting the unique ways in which Turkish culture and society were shaped by the conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Korean War had a profound impact on Turkish culture and society in the 1950s, despite the relatively small number of Turkish soldiers who served in the conflict.
