 Sales of the similarly themed books "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and Henry Ford's "The International Jew" have also increased.In the same vein, the 2005 bestselling book "Metal fırtına", which depicts a fictional war between Turkey and the United States, is described by the author, in an interview with "Vatan", as helping people understand the realities behind Israel and the Jews, and would see how the Jews betrayed Turkey.While the exact reason for the book's popularity is uncertain, it may reflect anger over the treatment of fellow Muslim in Palestine by Israelis, anti-western sentiments caused by the war in Iraq, or simply backlash caused by Turkey's bid to join the European Union.
