| BULLOCH, JOHN & HARVEY MORRIS No Friends But the Mountains : The Tragic History of the Kurds New York: Oxford University Press, 1992. Hardcover. 16 x 24 cm.; pg. 242; List of illustrations, author's note, map of Kurdistan, index. "The Kurds and their ancestors have lived in the land now called Kurdistan for 4, 000 years, but in modern times they have only once had a mini-state of their own. Yet there still exists an unmarked frontier following the foothills of the Taurus and the Zagros mountains, running west into the Syrian Jezireh as far as the Euphrates, and to the north almost to the Black Sea. That boundary embraces the mountainous homeland of the Kurds, the largest nation of earth without a state of its own. There are perhaps...more that twenty million people in an area the size of France, united by a common culture and a distinct language but divided by the frontiers of five states [Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Armenia].

| KIRK, GEORGE The Middle East in the War London: Oxford University Press, 1953. Second Revised Edition. Hardcover. Moderate foxing of endpapers, previous owner's signature and name stamp on prelims, scattered pencilled annotations and underscoring of text.; 16 x 24 cm.; pg. xiii, 511; Survey of International Affairs 1939-1946 Series. With an introduction by Arnold Toynbee. Preface, index, maps. "This volume on the Middle East during the Second World War differs from some of the other volumes which will appear in the war-time SURVEY in that it deals with political and economic events and conditions in a particular region whose geopolitical unity, initiated by the spread of Islam, had been reinforced by its peculiar relationship to the European imperialisms of c. 1800-1945, and confirmed when the advent of the aircraft and the desert-worthy motor vehicle had removed the former distinction between 'Near' and 'Middle' East by annihilating the barrier of the Syrian Desert that had formerly divided them. It is this peculiar relationship which is the primary object of study in this volume; and reference is made to the war campaigns only where it is necessary to provide the context of the political events.
