The book by Ali Monazzami, published by the TISHK Center for Kurdistan Studies in Cologne, explores the deeper meaning of the term "Peshmerga," a revered symbol of Kurdish resistance and national defense. It engages with the philosophy of Plato and the democratic ideals of Dr. Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou to examine the concept of Peshmerga. A key focus is the life of Hatem Duakhan, a model Peshmerga whose characteristics serve as an example of resistance and freedom.
