Black Flags
The Rise of ISIS
Joby Warrick - 2015-09-29 (first published in 2016)
Goodreads Rating
Discover the origins of ISIS in "Black Flags" - the gripping Pulitzer Prize-winning account by Joby Warrick. Follow the rise of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a terrorist mastermind whose movements were inadvertently spurred by Presidents Bush and Obama. Despite a lethal airstrike in 2006, his ultra-conservative Islamist followers sought refuge in unstable territories, leading to the establishment of the Islamic State. With unprecedented access to CIA and Jordanian sources, this definitive history unveils the long arc of today's most dangerous extremist threat.
