Joby Warrick: Black Flags & Red Lines
The collapse of the Islamic State’s caliphate in 2018 was not the end of a terrorist group, but rather another turn in a cycle. Pulitzer-prize winning author and journalist Joby Warrick illuminates the surprising roots of some of the most dangerous Islamists movements and explains how past policy decisions inadvertently contributed to their global expansion and, in the case of ISIS, remarkable rebirth. Projecting forward, he shows how the weakening of Western alliances and international institutions is speeding ISIS’s resurgence as a deadly insurgency in Iraq and Syria and the rise of regional affiliates in the Middle East and beyond.
