About this listen

We spent two weeks in Iraqi Kurdistan in order to gain a better understanding of ISIS and the war against it. Our research involved interviewing Kurdish security officials, peshmerga commanders, intelligence officers, and Kurdish prisoners who had joined ISIS. We learned more about the conditions that take someone away from his or her home, family, and friends to the so-called caliphate.

"The Kurds of ISIS" is from foreignaffairs.com, published on August 8, 2016.

Cannot stand alone in reference to the topic

This information is presented in an interesting way; however, the reader/listener should employ some basic critical-thinking skills. Hopefully, the reader/listener has collected additional resources as well. Many of the author’s key points and conclusions seem hidden; for example, I believe he could have made it more obvious that the Kurdish opposition is so much—exponentially—greater than “the Kurds of ISIS.” This piece is poorly titled and misleading.
