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

Analyzing ISIS's emergence from Middle East turmoil.

If you're keen on understanding contemporary geopolitical issues, particularly the complex emergence of ISIS, Patrick Cockburn's "The Rise of Islamic State" could provide you with a chilling, in-depth analysis. Cockburn is known for his expertise in Middle Eastern affairs, and this book dissects the cascading failures that led to the rise of one of the most brutal militant groups. It's for readers who want to grasp the consequential shifts in the region's power dynamics and the West's role in them.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
