The Rise of Islamic State: ISIS and the New Sunni Revolution

The essential â€œon the groundâ€ report on the fastest-growing new threat in the Middle East, from the winner of the 2014 Foreign Affairs Journalist of the Year Award

Born of the Iraqi and Syrian civil wars, the Islamic State astonished the world in 2014 by creating a powerful new force in the Middle East. By combining religious fanaticism and military prowess, the new self-declared caliphate poses a threat to the political status quo of the whole region.

In The Rise of Islamic State, Patrick Cockburn describes the conflicts behind a dramatic unraveling of US foreign policy. He shows how the West created the conditions for ISISâ€™s explosive success by stoking the war in Syria. The Westâ€”the US and NATO in particularâ€”underestimated the militantsâ€™ potential until it was too late and failed to act against jihadi sponsors in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan.
