Kelly Tharp’s Reviews > A Modern History of the Kurds > Status Update

Done - fascinating read of the history of this mid-east area and it's peoples. A bit dry, but still an educational read that helps explain a great deal of what's going on today and the history of why. Author was very detailed as to the tribes, their areas of influence, and histories.

Huge book, very detailed on the history of this area starting before the 19th century. But a very educational book to read to understand some of what the cultures and political in fighting is about in that area of the world.

This is one of those -takes forever to read - books. But if you want some good history of the mid east and where some of their long history of conflict comes from it's a fascinating read. It's also a difficult read due to all the long complicated names and titles of the historical figures that played a a big part in the mid east's history. But one I still recommend if you want to educate yourself on the mid east.
