 UK Professor’s Book Examines Iraqi War
A new book by University of Kentucky history professor Robert Olson, a leading international authority on the foreign relations of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria and the Kurds, is one of the first scholarly publications to detail the tumultuous history and politics of Iran and Turkey during the past 25 years.
