The Kurds : A Modern History (Updated 2017)

This updated 2017 edition covers the latest events in Syria, Turkey and Iraq. Calling on more than 30 years of studying the Kurdish issue, numerous trips to the region, and many contacts among the Kurds, including almost all of their main leaders, Michael Gunter has written a short, but thorough history of the Kurds that is well documented, but still proves very readable.
