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.
When the government of Jordan granted amnesty to a group of political prisoners in 1999, it little realized that among them was Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a terrorist mastermind and soon the architect of an Islamist movement bent on dominating the Middle East. In Black Flags, an unprecedented character-driven account of the rise of ISIS, Joby Warrick shows how the zeal of this one man and the strategic mistakes of Presidents Bush and Obama led to the banner of ISIS being raised over huge swaths of Syria and Iraq.
Zarqawi began by directing terror attacks from a base in northern Iraq, but it was the American invasion in 2003 that catapulted him to the head of a vast insurgency. By falsely identifying him as the link between Saddam and bin Laden, U.S. officials inadvertently spurred like-minded radicals to rally to his cause. Their wave of brutal beheadings and suicide bombings persisted until American and Jordanian intelligence discovered clues that led to a lethal airstrike on Zarqawi’s hideout in 2006.
His movement, however, endured. First calling themselves al-Qaeda in Iraq, then Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, his followers sought refuge in unstable, ungoverned pockets on the Iraq-Syria border. When the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011, and as the U.S. largely stood by, ISIS seized its chance to pursue Zarqawi’s dream of an ultra-conservative Islamic caliphate.
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 a menace worse than al Qaeda and tried desperately to stop it. Black Flags is a brilliant and definitive history that reveals the long arc of today’s most dangerous extremist threat.
JOBY WARRICK has been a reporter for The Washington Post since 1996. He is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for journalism, and the author of The Triple Agent.
萨达姆政权倾覆后,极端宗教势力得以在权力真空中生根发芽。伊拉克强行选举出的政权退化为Shiite对Sunni的暴政,阿拉伯之春的混乱又为ISIS后继壮大提供了土壤。The Islamists promised freedom from tyrannical regimes and the creation of a just society, ordered according to godly principles. What they delivered instead was an armed dictatorship defined by corruption, cruelty, and death.
评分听书。非常具体的讲述了ISIS从Zarqawi的监狱时光一路发展壮大到占据大面积伊拉克叙利亚领土。就算之前对中东几乎没有了解,只要有点地理常识就可以非常容易的看懂。美国、约旦、伊拉克、叙利亚、俄罗斯、伊朗...复杂的中东形式,真的不是伊斯兰的锅。
评分对ISIS崛起的近期历史梳理非常清晰,尤其对其中关键人物(al-Zarqawi, Abdullah II of Jordan, Bashar Al-Assad等等)的背景和在历史关键点中起到的作用有重点阐述,对美国的第二次伊拉克战争以及阿拉伯之春后的叙利亚内战也有详细分析,然而对大的历史和国际环境对ISIS的作用着墨不足,是一个缺陷。
评分非常有价值的“谈资书”。讲ISIS的前世今生,风云变幻大时代之下的个人命运。作者是Plitzer Prize Winner,任职Washington Post多年,功力深厚。这本书看的我挺难过的,所以拖拖拉拉看了很长时间。其间又正好在读Hilary Clinton的Hard Choices,又看了Munich,心情不能更沉重。关于历史,在我们努力寻找“为什么”之后,都还只落到一句“what if”的感叹上,也太可悲了。
评分这是我读过的第一本关于ISIS的书,之前也对这个话题不甚了解。看完这本书觉得作者能从众多材料里面梳理出脉络,把整个故事讲得清楚把相关的人物介绍完毕挺不容易的。
本书的尾声提到了两个观点。 埃及总统塞西认为,”基地“组织与”伊斯兰国“的暴力行径,不过是一场横亘在穆斯林面前的更大危机所表现出来的现象而已。问题并非在于伊斯兰教的核心价值,而在于意识形态——那些几百年来被穆斯林奉为圣训的思想和观点。他认为,要对这些思想和...
评分 评分推荐这本书时,先森还是犹豫了一小下,毕竟是一本媒体新闻题材的作品,喜欢的人应该不会很多。 但是因为写的过于精彩,不得不聊一聊 即使这段文字你读不下去,丢了它,没关系的,我写东西从来不是为了迎合任何人看的。 切入正题。 在2014年轻恐怖分子横扫伊拉克并发布处死人质...
