Book boom reflects Turkish interest in military history
The growing popularity of military history publications over the past two years offers clues to a transformation in Turkish society.
A book fair I recently attended held a pleasant surprise for me: An abundance of Turkish military history books had been given the most prominent displays.
The annual event in the northern Aegean resort town of Edremit, Turkey, ran Aug. 13-16. The prevalence of those particular books seems to confirm a revived interest in Turkey's military past among a variety of readers.
