We saw the rise of ISIS, the splintering of government in Iraq, and foreign fighters – many from Europe, Australia and Africa – flowing into Syria at a rate ten times that during the height of the Iraq War. What went wrong?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eBlood Year\u003c\/em\u003e, David Kilcullen calls on twenty-five years’ experience to answer that question. This is a vivid, urgent account of the War on Terror by someone who helped shape its strategy, as well as witnessing its evolution on the ground. Kilcullen looks to strategy and history to make sense of the crisis. What are the roots and causes of the global jihad movement? What is ISIS? What threats does it pose to Australia? What does its rise say about the effectiveness of the War on Terror since 9\/11, and what does a coherent strategy look like after a disastrous year?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinner\u003c\/strong\u003e of the 2015 Walkley Award for best long feature writing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrespondence discussing Quarterly Essay 58, \u003cem\u003eBlood Year\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quarterlyessay.com.au\/correspondence\/correspondence-hugh-white\"\u003eHugh White\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quarterlyessay.com.au\/correspondence\/correspondence-jim-molan\"\u003eJim Molan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quarterlyessay.com.au\/correspondence\/correspondence-waleed-aly\"\u003eWaleed Aly\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAUDIOBOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com.au\/pd\/Non-fiction\/Quarterly-Essay-58-Audiobook\/B010973RBM\/ref=a_search_c4_1_3_srTtl?qid=1436849735\u0026amp;sr=1-3\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlood Year also available as an audiobook from Audible.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"QE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44596808417415,"sku":"POD-9781863957328-QE","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0313\/7211\/6103\/products\/qe58-blood-year_736471ff-29a1-483b-98cd-d163c88e4dfd.jpg?v=1625796720","url":"https:\/\/shop.schwartzbooks.com.au\/products\/blood-year-qe58-by-david-kilcullen","provider":"Schwartz Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
