combines reportage and
scholarship to give the first
in-depth account of the PKK, the
Kurdistan Workers Party. Aliza
Marcus, one of the first Western
reporters to meet with PKK
rebels, wrote about their war
for many years before being put
on trial in Turkey for her
reporting. Based on her
interviews with PKK rebels and
their supporters and opponents
throughout the world--including
the Palestinians who trained
them, the intelligence services
that tracked them, and the
dissidents who tried to break
them up--Marcus provides an
in-depth account of this
influential radical group. |
