Black flags : the rise of ISIS / Joby Warrick.
"In a thrilling dramatic narrative, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Joby Warrick traces how the strain of militant Islam behind ISIS first arose in a remote Jordanian prison and spread with the unwitting aid of two American presidents. First calling themselves al-Qaeda in Iraq, then Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, his followers sought refuge in unstable, ungoverned pockets on the Iraq-Syria border. Black Flags is a brilliant and definitive history that reveals the long arc of today's most dangerous extremist threat"-- Provided by publisher.
