Current situation or historical context?

Full disclosure: I haven't read either of these but I heard good things and they are on my reading list.

- Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS by Joby Warrick

- The ISIS Apocalypse: The History, Strategy, and Doomsday Vision of the Islamic State by William McCants

The actual best site on Syria went down about 3 weeks ago - and it is hard to get constant up to date info that is not spun on most sites. Sure wish the Institute for the Study of War site was back,,
