This book chronicles the story of the Kurdish genocide that was not told during the trial of Saddam Hussein.Saddam Hussein's execution for his crimes against Iraq's Shi'a not only brought an end to his reign of oppression, but also to the justice that was to be served to the Iraqi Kurds.The Kurds have continually been under adversity since the end of World War I, when they were denied their own homeland, splitting them into three countries: Turkey, Iran, and Iraq. However, during Saddam's 24-year reign, the Kurds were frequently 'under the knife' of injustice. Between 1987 and 1989, Saddam unleashed genocide, razing over 2,000 villages and murdering at least 50,000 Kurds. As his dictatorship came to an end, the Kurds long-awaited day to hold Saddam responsible for the atrocities against the Kurds had come, only to be sidetracked by the Iraqi High Tribunal, Iraqi government and the U.S. government. While the Shi'a rejoiced in their victory, the Kurds would continue to be left behind. Saddam's death subsequently relinquished all of the charges put forth on him against the Kurds. The world had turned its back on the Kurds in their age of genocide, and now appeared to turn a blind eye to the justice that was denied.
