Izady lost me at the "Kurdish Pontus Empire" at first, but reconsidering this not as a dry academic report on the phenomenon we now call Kurds but an active part of the nation-building thereof, you know what, he actually makes sense. Approach this book with the intention of reading something more akin to a manifesto than a travel guide...

Önemli bilgilerin yanında abartılı yorumlar var. Propaganda ile tarih iç içe geçmiş

A good early handbook on a people among whom I used to live. I found the review useful to tie up loose ends of the basic knowledge I had had for many years. It's good to read about places where you've lived. Having lived there in relative ignorance then summarized and updated for you by a scholar gives you a rounded, wholistic concept of your experience.
