Krátky popis
The Spymaster of Baghdad is the gripping story of the top-secret
Iraqi intelligence unit that infiltrated the Islamic State. More so
than that of any foreign power, the information they gathered
turned the tide against the insurgency, paving the way to the
killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019. Against the
backdrop of the most brutal conflict of recent decades, we chart
the spymaster's struggle to develop the unit from scratch in
challenging circumstances after the American invasion of Iraq in
2003, we follow the fraught relationship of two of his agents, the
al-Sudani brothers - one undercover in ISIS for sixteen long
months, the other his handler - and we track a disillusioned
scientist as she turns bomb-maker, threatening the lives of
thousands. With unprecedented access to characters on all sides,
Pulitzer Prize-finalist Margaret Coker challenges the conventional
view that Western coalition forces defeated ISIS and reveals a
page-turning story of unlikely heroes, unbelievable courage and
good old-fashioned spycraft.
