Winston Churchill wrote an amazing set of books, the first volume is The Birth of Britain and it's a great read. It has a very unique prose, very readable though, and very entertaining if you are into history (he writes in a quasi-historical/story telling/autobiographical/biographical tone, sometimes all in the some paragraph). You can find these books reasonably cheap if you search around.
There is also an abridged version, and there's no shame in reading it (it's about 1500 pages shorter). As well known as England is, I guarantee you will be floored at just how much turmoil that Island has seen.
Firstly: it's four books:
eBay? That's where I got them! It seems you can also get them from this online shop devoted to Churchill's books. Amazon also has some copies available.
It also appears that there are ebook versions available now.
Enjoy!
I haven't read these yet but they are on my list: Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples.

The entire history is not specific to your period, but does cover it.
> and "no" is a pretty childish answer
Well I was trying to be succinct and let the sources speak for themselves. Your point, as I took it, was that the existence of Kurdistan was not something that was really up for discussion and the only reason I'd think it was is because I'm on reddit. When in actual fact, it was far more of a contested issue than it is now, and Churchill's willingness to poison them into submission to our civil service is well known and well documented. Take it or leave it, but I wasn't letting you get away with your crap without at least being corrected.
If you're really interested in learning more about this I'd suggest Churchill's nobel prize winning History of the English Speaking Peoples. He goes into great detail. It's a long book, by a primary source, so you might not like it.
