David McDowall Knihy
1. január 1945
David McDowall je autor, ktorého diela čerpajú z rozsiahlych skúseností z rôznych kútov sveta vrátane pobytov v Hongkongu, Iraku, Libanone a Rakúsku. Jeho písanie sa hlboko ponára do histórie, so zvláštnym zameraním na Blízky východ, kde sa venoval otázke Palestíny, libanonskému konfliktu a kurdskému obyvateľstvu naprieč Iránom, Irakom, Sýriou a Tureckom. Jeho literárny záujem sa teraz obracia k historickým krajinám Británie, kde vytvára sprievodcov pre peších turistov. McDowallov štýl sa vyznačuje podrobným historickým skúmaním a prepojením politických udalostí s geografickými a kultúrnymi kontextami.
In this detailed history of the Kurds from the 19th century to the present day, McDowall examines the interplay of old and new aspects of the struggle, the importance of local rivalries within Kurdish society, the enduring authority of certain forms of leadership and the failure of modern states to respond to the challenge of Kurdish nationalism. schovat popis
