- Summary
- "In this detailed history of the Kurds from the 19th century to the present day, McDowall updates his examination of the interplay of old and new aspects of the struggle, the importance of local rivalries within Kurdish society, the enduring authority of certain forms of leadership and the failure of modern states to respond to the challenge of Kurdish nationalism. Drawing extensively on primary sources, A Modern History of the Kurds is useful for all who want a better understanding of the underlying dynamics of the Kurdish question."--Jacket.
