Inhalt:
"Examining the effects of the Cold War and regional politics on the Iraqi Kurds between 1958-1975, this study demonstrates how regional and international powers sought to exploit the Iraqi Kurds in their quest for statehood. The research draws on a plethora of British and American archival documents, select Soviet and Iranian sources integrated with Kurdish authoritative and eyewitness accounts. The work explores the Iraqi Kurds on three levels: firstly, on a national, Iraqi level, starting with the Iraqi Revolution in 1958 to the collapse of the Kurds' liberation movement in 1975 under Mela Mustafa Barzani. Secondly, it considers the issue on a regional level by examining the political dynamics between Iran (under the Shah), Iraq, Egypt (thus Nasserists) and other regional states, with a focus on these states' relations and tensions. Thirdly, scrutinises the impact of the Cold War on the politics and history of Iraq, focusing on the effects on the Kurds in particular. Complementing the existing literature, this volume builds a chronological narrative through historical analysis. It is a key resource for students, scholars, policymakers and regional experts interested in Kurdish history, foreign policy, politics and security in the Middle East"--
