This is a fascinating account of a little known ethnic minority in Iraq. Although the Assyrians, like many minorities in Iraq, lived across many modern national boundaries, they were an unusually well-off group. After the end of the British mandate in Iraq in 1932, however, it was revealed that Moslems were persecuting them. The survivors of the Assyrian people and the remnants of a once great Christian Church lived in the mountains by and large in the north part of Iraq, sometimes straddling the Turkish border.
