In this episode, we take a deep, documentary-style look at the rise and fall of ISIS (Islamic State)—one of the most influential and controversial militant movements in recent modern history.

We break down how ISIS emerged from the instability in Iraq and Syria, how it rapidly expanded by exploiting political chaos, and how it managed to control large territories at its peak.
