Book Black Flags
The book "Black Flags" is a book about the "Islamic State" and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi[6]. He won the Pulitzer Prize for the second time in 2016 for this book, namely Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS[7]. He wrote his book with information he was able to collect through relations with the CIA and the United States Army. This book is a narrative nonfiction that reveals corners of crimes against humanity by ISIS. Warrick believes the creation of the ISIS group was due to two major reasons, one of which was the mistake of the Jordan government in pardoning "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi" among political prisoners released in 1999 from the prisons of this country. "Al-Zarqawi" joined Al-Qaeda Afghanistan some time after his release. In the following, part of the book is presented: The man who had become the head of the intelligence section in northern Iraq in the summer of 2002, had rarely heard anything about a terrorist named "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi". But within a few weeks, "Charles (Sam) Faddis" had learned the location of the Jordanians. There could not be a better opportunity to pursue Zarqawi.
"Faddis", with a height of 182 centimeters, was the son of a naval officer residing on a hillside in the southwest of "Pennsylvania", who had come with a group of CIA operatives to gather information about Iraqi military units such as "Ansar al-Islam" who lived on the Iranian border and had extensive links with Al-Qaeda. Previously, this 47-year-old lawyer had worked hard to carry out such a task. Faddis was eager to find a way to enter the war after the September 11 attacks. Benefiting from a background in counter-terrorism, Middle East experience, and exercising power in Turkey, had made him particularly suitable for leading the mission in Iraq. Now he and his group, living in safe houses, had surveilled the Ansar al-Islam headquarters and Zarqawi's house and several other jihadists. Sometimes, agents wearing Kurdish clothes would get so close to their headquarters that they could see the border guards with long beards. The goal was their complete destruction...[8].
