War and Peace in Kurdistan

excellent overview from ancient times to now. left out Kurdish banditry as a contributor to their problems.the present women in combat situation is not unprecedented, the Zand tribe of Kurds was doing thisin Persia in the 1700s for a while and there are cropouts of this kinda holdover from Median times.Persians had female archers, cavalry, commanders and at least one admiral probably foot soldiersso the closely related Medes likely did also.

Great and informative book. Well written and easy enough to understand. Though its probably best to study other perspectives along with Ocalan's.
