Scholars, government officials who deal with the Middle East and the Kurds, the media, and general readers will find this reference an accessible historical account of a group of people who are becoming increasingly important for the future of the strategic Middle East. Maps, a chronology, an introductory essay, a dictionary containing several hundred entries on various aspects of the Kurdish experience and an extensive bibliography comprise this volume."--Jacket.
