It was the beginning of a nearly two-month journey that would climax in a days-long visit with the leader of the Kurdish rebellion, the most loved and feared man in Kurdistan, Mullah Mustafa Barzani.\u003cp\u003e Accompanied by armed Kurdish guides and a 72-year-old Turkish interpreter, the six-feet-three-inch, seersucker-suit-clad Schmidt traveled, often at night, a secret route by foot, mule, horse and, on two occasions, jeep into the high Kurdish mountains to report on \"the fightingest people in the Middle East\" as no foreign journalist had done before. The physical dangers were acute-his group was strafed more than once by the Iraqi air force. Along the way, Schmidt learned about the history and culture of the Kurds, whose cause Barzani hoped Schmidt could convey to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Originally published in 1964 and now back in print with a new foreword by historian Charles Glass, \u003ci\u003eJourney Among Brave Men\u003c\/i\u003e is an enduring testament to the power of audacious journalism and to the strong will of the Kurds, an embattled people who remain in search of an independent state today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GROVE PR","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67600328851746,"sku":"9780802125903-new","price":16.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9780802125903.jpg?v=1792904883","url":"https:\/\/www.albakireads.com\/products\/journey-among-brave-men-9780802125903-new","provider":"AlbakiReads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
