Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS Heads to HBO

Black Flags is a brilliant and definitive history that reveals the long arc of today’s most dangerous extremist threat.

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.

Plans for the Black Flags miniseries call for The Book of Henry scribe and bestselling author Gregg Hurwitz to adapt the book with Game of Thrones‘ Tim Van Patten attached to direct.
