Historically, when the proper dominoes are arranged and then fall in the correct order, amazing and positive things can happen, unfortunately, however, that same reality exists for evil and darkness as well. This is the story of ISIS, a very real form of indescribable evil that still exists and even thrives in parts of the world today. On today’s episode I welcome 2-time Pulitzer Prize winning author and Washington Post correspondent, Mr. Joby Warrick, to discuss his 2016 Pulitzer Prize winning book, Black Flags, the rise of ISIS. We discuss his background as a journalist, his road to developing a passion and interest in Middle East politics and events, and how the dominoes of history laid a framework for one of the darkest and most evil ideologies to ever exist, and allowed it to germinate and spread throughout much of the middle east. This is part 1 of our 4 part series. Enjoy!
