Işid Tuzağı

An illuminating work about an issue that is at the center of the international political agenda and disrupts global public opinion with the shock waves it creates... ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, an organization that was unknown until recently, made a bloody and sensational entry into the international agenda in early 2014. . In a very short time, the organization established itself as a new player in the Middle East and took control of a large region in Iraq and Syria. Today, while it commands significant financial resources, it continues to spread fear and terror with its jihadist army that finds sympathizers and supporters from all over the world. In this book, Middle East expert historian Pierre-Jean Luizard tries to understand the reasons behind the surprising success of the Islamic State, while explaining why and how Western powers fell into this trap prepared by the organization by drawing them into its own war. Focusing on the historical background of the process in order to make current events understandable, the author extends to the American occupation of Iraq, the dynamics of the emergence of the Arab Spring, and finally the long history of the Arab states established under British and French mandates.
