This book is about the history, identity, and culture of the Kurdish nation in the Middle East. This nation has an old culture and history, and has struggled to gain its legitimate rights for hundreds of years. But in the course of history, its revolutions for the right of self-determination have been thwarted by international powers and regional states.
Reading this book might raise some of these questions for you: Who are Kurds? Where is Kurdistan? What are their race, religion, and ethnicity? What is their geography? Why is there not yet an independent Kurdish state? Why is Kurdistan divided between several countries? Why did Kurdish revolutions fail one after the other? The answers to these questions can be found in this book. -- from the book cover
