David McDowall Ordre des livres (chronologique)
1 janvier 1945
David McDowall est un auteur dont l'œuvre s'appuie sur une vaste expérience vécue et professionnelle dans diverses régions du monde, y compris des séjours à Hong Kong, en Irak, au Liban et en Autriche. Son écriture plonge profondément dans l'histoire, avec un accent particulier sur le Proche-Orient, où il a exploré la Question de Palestine, le conflit libanais et les Kurdes d'Iran, d'Irak, de Syrie et de Turquie. Son intérêt littéraire se tourne désormais vers les paysages historiques de Grande-Bretagne, où il crée des guides pour les marcheurs. Le style de McDowall se caractérise par une enquête historique méticuleuse et une capacité à relier les événements géopolitiques à leurs contextes géographiques et culturels.
This is a revised edition of the same title published in 2007. It takes the walker to every publicly accessible part of Windsor Great Park, revealing the history, with anecdotes, of the whole park. A few corrections have been made where there have been alterations to access, i.e. with car parks, gates and fencing.
In this detailed history of the Kurds from the 19th century to the present day, McDowall examines the interplay of old and new aspects of the struggle, the importance of local rivalries within Kurdish society, the enduring authority of certain forms of leadership and the failure of modern states to respond to the challenge of Kurdish nationalism. schovat popis
