Hello subreddit! I've been having a hard time finding books and sources that would analyze, from a military history point of view, the Middle East wars of the last two decades. I'm especially curious to find an impartial look at military operations by various sides during the Syrian Civil War.

One thing that interests me is just how did Islamic State, an entity that has no armored units, aviation or navy, manage to capture such a large area of land, and why did it take a combination of the International Coalition, the Iraqi Security Forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces, the Syrian Arab Army and the Russian Armed Forces (am I forgetting anyone else?) almost five years to recapture that territory?

Would be extremely grateful for any book or article recommendations!
