Description

The Kurds: A Modern History by Michael M. Gunter provides a comprehensive overview of this complex and often overlooked region. Spanning over 100 years, from the aftermath of World War I to the present day, the book chronicles the Kurdish experience in its historical and geographical context. Kurdistan is situated at the crossroads of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, where the desire for independence or cultural and political autonomy has led to a series of revolts. The region's states fear that Kurdish demands will threaten their territorial integrity, making this a delicate and often contentious issue. Gunter draws on his extensive scholarship and personal experience to offer a well-documented and highly readable history of the Kurds. With over 30 years of research and numerous trips to the region, Michael Gunter has written a thorough account of the Kurdish people's struggles and conflicts, including their current challenges with ISIS and regional governments.
