Kurds: A Photographic History

The Kurdish people have a population of over 28 million people spread out over five countries, but without an existing border of a country to call their own. The region known to many as Kurdistan presently comprises parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Armenia. It is a land of stark beauty but also one engulfed in conflict; for centuries, empires, states and warring tribes have fought for control of this most inaccessible mountainous region with varying degrees of success.
