Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-18 00:00:00 Joseph Michael Careful historiographical study of they deliberate construction of Turkey's "every Turk is born a soldier" national ideology to support conscription, a large military establishment, Cyprus, military intervention in the government and the military as a forced melting pot and educational process, although things get interesting when it becomes obvious that Ataturk intended this to include women, spearheading the campaign with his adopted daughter, the first woman combat pilot. How this fell out while the rest stayed and evolved makes for a fascinating study, especially as it gives access to Turkish documents I could otherwise not get into.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-25 00:00:00 Wallace Chin I don't know why I haven't read this book until now. This book is a fairly short but essential read on militarism, nationalism, and gender in Turkey. Also relevant for people interested in Kurdish issues.
