Voices from the Front - Turkish Soldiers on the War with the Kurdish Guerrillas (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days
|
These riveting first-hand accounts of Turkish soldiers who have
fought in the nasty internal war against the Kurds speak to
universals: the shock of entering military life and the traumas of
warfare; the changes in personality and relations with family and
friends, the lingering emotional effects of violence, and the
difficulties in returning to the 'real world', to borrow a phrase
from Vietnam vets. Corruption, disillusionment and despair
alternate with the small victories of humanity overcoming hellish
conditions. Mater's reportage is in the best tradition of revealing
the surreal, illuminating the universal truth of war's devastation.
At a time when American troops are again caught in a vicious
insurgency, the Kurdish issue has high visibility, and Turkey is a
major actor in the Middle East, the experiences of these former
soldiers resonate.
