It is clear the authors were very knowledgeable about how ISIS started and its origins. I learned a lot about the founding of the group and its existence in Iraq even before the 2003 invasion. It was very obvious the authors were liberal democrats who blamed President George W. Bush for the creation of ISIS while ignoring the fact that President Obama pardoned its leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. It was clear ISI was defeated until we released them all. But despite their liberal leanings they made good points about the gravest error the Bush administration made was the banishment of all former Bathists from holding any political office. Although that law was walked back in 2008 the damage to the Sunni population was done. I think this was a well sourced book that everyone interested in what is happening in Syria should read. It will give a slanted opinion on Iraq, but for the most part the book explains the simple truth that the only government worse than a dictator is a broken government. The authors pointed out our removal of Saddam Hussein and the Libyan dictatorships caused a void that is being filled by uncontrollable violent Jihad. Overall a very good book.
