"The division of the Kurdish people among the modern nation states of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran and their struggle for national rights have been constant themes of recent Middle East history. They are also issues which, particularly in Iraq, Syria and Turkey, have never been so pressing as they are today. In this detailed history of the Kurds from the nineteenth 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 with 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."
