Forty Days on Musa Dagh
by Franz Werfel
Viking Press, Random House 1934

This widely read best-seller on an episode during WWI was popular throughout the 1950's. Proposed as an epic movie over the years, Hollywood bowed to government pressure to suppress its content.

BTW, the Turks benefited from a brilliant PR job because of their token support for us and the UN in Korea. They had a quite ferocious reputation largely gained when they mistook retreating South Koreans as Chinese and massacred them. Then, they turned their weapons on a nearby Greek contingent. When they finally faced the CHICOM, they were wiped out. However, we had many Cold War bases in Turkey and they were supposed to be anti-Soviet, which was probably true. Thus, they enjoyed official US support. But in fact, much of their ferocity was expended against the Greeks on Cyprus and elsewhere.
