‘The Kurd requires a beating one day and a sugar plum the
next.’ British Government official 1921 ‘Saddam throws a little
gas, everyone goes crazy, “oh, he’s using gas!’’’ former
President Donald Trump 2019 Delving into history and mixing
eye-witness accounts with compelling anecdotes from his
journalistic career, John Cookson examines the Kurds' eternal quest
for independence. He tells of his encounters with Kurdish guerillas
in their mountain hideouts and of his travels with Kurdish
smugglers. He documents survivors' stories from Saddam Hussein's
genocidal campaign and reveals for the first time how Iraqi
Kurdistan was saved from being overrun by murderous jihadis in the
summer of 2014. He also digs through secret archives to discover
why Sir Winston Churchill and Middle East titans like T. E.
Lawrence and Gertude Bell made a fateful decision to leave the
Kurds landlocked and doomed to an eternity of conflict.
