I made a commitment to myself at the beginning of the year to, when news felt overwhelming, to find a book about important geopolitical or social topics and be immersed in longform research and writing. This is how I found my way to this book, after carefully reading reviews of books covering Syria and terrorism that this seemed to be a good option. It was so funny and entertaining for a book about the Islamic State, but at the same time serious and considerate of the complexity of the theological issues. A page turner, and now I feel equipped to read news stories about ISIS to catch up to what happened in the 10 years since this book's action largely takes place.
