5.0 out of 5 stars About This Book..., July 24, 2009

By	Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews

This review relates to the Archon Books (Shoe String Press) in hardcover.

"Major Edgar O'Ballance, who has achieved a reputation as a student of military campaigns, here surveys...the Kurdish Revolt in northern Iraq which, successive Iraqi governments did their best to conceal, lasted for nine years." O'Ballance provides the first comprehensive coverage of this revolt, having visited Kurdish occupied territories to research this book.

"Almost to the end the Kurds fought silently and alone under a swashbuckling partisan leader named Mullah Mustafa, head of the fierce Barzani tribe." Mustafa was a great survivor who "baulked all attempts to oust him from the leadership and all communist efforts to take over the direction of the revolt."

He kept his lightly-armed force effective through the use of hit-and-run raids and keeping his fighters in the mountains where they retained an advantage over conventional armies.

Hardcover in dustjacket, 196 pp, index, appendices, maps.
