Index
Abdullah Ocalan actively led the Kurdish liberation struggle as the head of the PKK from its foundation in 1978 until his abduction on 15th February 1999. He is a leading strategist and the most important political representative of the Kurdish freedom movement. Under isolation conditions at Imrali Island Prison, Ocalan authored more than 10 books which revolutionised Kurdish politics, including The Political Thought of Abdullah Ocalan (Pluto, 2017), and Prison Writings, Volumes I and II (Pluto, 2007; 2011).
'Abdullah Ocalan seems to have done a better job writing with the
extremely limited resources allowed him by his jailers than authors
like Francis Fukuyama or Jared Diamond did with access to the
world's finest research libraries'
*David Graeber, author of Debt: The First 5000 Years*
