ajiss-833	Marthinsen, Grant	ISIS: A History By Fawaz A. Gerges (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2016. 384 pages.)	2018.0	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1412	41	47	Gerges postulates that Ayman al-Zawahiri, the current leader of al-Qaeda, is biding his time until the ferocity of IS plays itself out and the group’s territory is stripped away. He writes that IS itself can and should be considered the direct progeny of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), which is clear for those who trace the organization’s lineage, and argues that the fragmentation of Iraq after the 2003 invasion allowed the group to flourish (first as AQI and then as IS).	cache/ajiss-833.pdf	txt/ajiss-833.txt
