Phyllis Bennis

By leading American journalist, activist, and political commentator, Phyllis Bennis, who has written numerous books about the Middle East. Written in accessible Frequently Asked Questions format, suitable for the general reader and students. Very timely given UK involvement in strikes on Syria. It covers the Paris attacks. The rise of ISIS has been so fast and dramatic that there is a demand for robust and balanced commentary and analysis in order to understand how it came into being and where it fits in this incredibly complex region. Puts ISIS in a global context, and examines the role of other nations.
