Description: The Kurdish Predicament in Iraq is a political analysis of events in Iraq since 1992, based on the author's extensive travels in Kurdistan and interviews with Kurds who participated in the government. The book examines the personalities of Barzani and Talabani, the Iraqi opposition to Saddam, in which the Kurds were a leading force, the continuing Iraqi Kurdistan civil war that began in May 1994, and the resulting power vacuum in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Gunter provides an objective analysis, with the hope that it will lead to a better understanding of both the continuing tragedy in Iraqi Kurdistan and the chances that exist for renewed hope.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [164]-175) and index.
