Book Information
"Acclaimed journalist Christiane Bird, who riveted readers with her tour of Iran in Neither East Nor West, now tells the Kurds' story, using personal observations and in-depth research to illuminate the astonishing history and vibrant culture of a people without a state to call their own." "From a Kurdish wedding in Iran, to the destroyed Kurdish countryside in southeast Turkey, to the sites of Saddam Hussein's horrific chemical attacks in Iraq, Bird offers welcome insight into a violently stunning world seen by few Westerners-and understood by fewer. Combining mesmerizing travelogue, action-packed history, expert reportage, and incisive cultural study, this critical book offers timely insight into an unknown but increasingly influential part of the world. Book jacket."--Jacket.
