      abstract = {This book explores the important role that the Korean War  played in Turkish culture and society in the 1950s. Despite  the fact that fewer than 15,000 Turkish soldiers served in  the war, this study shows that the Turkish public was  exposed to the war in an unprecedented manner, considering  the relatively small size of the country's military  contribution. It examines how the Turkish people understood  the war and its causes, how propaganda was used to sell the  war to the public, including the use of religious  propaganda in the public sphere, and the impact of these  messages on the Turkish public. Drawing on literary and  visual sources, including archival documents, newspapers,  protocols of parliamentary sessions, books, poems, plays,  memoirs, cartoons and films, the book shows how the  propaganda employed by the state and other influential  civic groups in Turkey aimed to shape public opinion  regarding the Korean War. It explores why this mattered to  Turkish politicians, viewing this as instrumental in  achieving the country's admission to NATO, and why it  mattered to Turkish people more widely, seeing instead a  war in the name of universal ideas of freedom, humanity and  justice, and comparing the Turkish case to other states  that participated in the war. Nadav Solomonovich is a  Research Fellow at the University of Haifa, Israel, having  previously studied Islamic and Middle eastern Studies at  the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of  several articles on modern Turkey and late Ottoman  Palestine.},
