Erkek Millet, Asker Millet is an initial attempt to discuss military masculinity in the Turkish context and in the greater spheres of nationalism and gender studies. The book traverses a relatively uncharted territory and compiles sixteen articles, which relate to masculinity from different perspectives with compelling arguments and well-chosen examples. Articles focus on a range of problems varying from military masculinity in Balkan wars, martyrdom, and compulsory military service, to Korea war, disabled veterans, football and the representations of masculinities in media. The book convincingly argues that masculinity is a critical issue surrounding discussions not only about war and the military but also about sacrifice, discipline, hegemony and education
