The Kurds in the New Middle East with Stephen Mansfield

About this episode

Tim Milosch discusses the Kurds and their role in the changing Middle East with Stephen Mansfield.

On the podcast today, I’ve brought back a returning guest and one of the leading American voices on the Kurds, New York Times bestselling author Stephen Mansfield. Stephen has worked closely with the Kurdish diaspora in America, and has traveled in Kurdistan. There are few people in America that are better positioned to talk about the Kurds, their history with the US, and their potential role in a rapidly changing Middle East.
