Summary

Kurdistan is what America wanted Iraq to be. It’s America’s reward.

Hundreds of thousands of Kurds were murdered under the tyrannical regime of Saddam Hussein. Some 4,000 Kurdish villages were destroyed. Betrayed again and again by the nations of the world, the Kurds were as decimated as any people in history.

Then came the Kurdish Miracle, that combination of ancient wisdom and modern economic genius that is now making the Kurdish homeland one of the most prosperous places on earth. Many experts predict that this homeland will soon be the world’s newest nation.

Stephen Mansfield witnessed much of this history. In this audiobook, he has turned the skills that have made him a New York Times best-selling author upon the Kurdish story. He has captured the agony and the determination, the horror and the genius, of one of the most remarkable stories of our time.

Learning about the Kurdish people

Very informative and accessible. I need to listen again to learn names and chronology but that's more about my memory!! Highly recommend it.

A must-read book about Kurds.

Great story about wonderful Kurdish nation. Just didn't like slamming my hero - Christopher Hitchens.

Pleasant but not what I was after

Pleasant but much of it seems very very personal. Not a bad thing at all but not what I was after.
