Very recommendable! Covers many of the complexities involving this question of why about 40 million Kurds spread over 4 countries still do not have their own state!
"From 1920, the new Turkish Army [under charismatic and highly revered, but controversial leader Mustafa Kemal Attaturk] occupied what was to become the little Kurdistan, and the Allies had no will to challenge them."
Horrible Big Government President Wilson failed here too! Not only did he break his promise to stay neutral and not to get involved in World War I, he also failed the Kurds!
Why there is no Kurdish nation: Despite many attempts, the Kurds have never won and kept their own nation -- though, after World War I, they came close.
