“The Passion and Death of Rahman the Kurd: Dreaming Kurdistan” by Carol Prunhuber tells the story of Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou’s life and bloody murder in Vienna, Austria.
The Kurds are a minority in the Middle Eastern countries of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria.
This book is about their struggle in Iran.
Mr. Ghassemlou led that struggle for ten years under the banner of “Democracy in Iran, Autonomy in Kurdistan.” The Iranian leaders rejected his demands and assassinated him on July 13, 1989.
Jonathan Randal, formerly of the Washington Post, says of the book: “ …impressive biography of the Kurds’ most worldly and best-educated leader.”
