Joby Warrick, Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS

Winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction


In Conversation with Gail Evans, Former Executive VP, CNN


 


Book Talk, Q&A, and Signing 


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.  Drawing on unique high-level access to CIA and Jordanian sources, Warrick weaves gripping, moment-by-moment operational details with the perspectives of diplomats and spies, generals and heads of state, many of whom foresaw in ISIS a menace worse than al-Qaeda.


Books will be available for purchase from the official bookseller of the Book Festival, A Cappella Books.
