About The ISIS Affair: Putting the Fun Back in Fundamentalism Kindle Edition
The ISIS Affair is a satire of religion and nationalism in the tradition of Gulliver’s Travels and Catch-22, featuring a few of the worlds’ over 4000 religions (number according to adherents.com) as their infallibility collides in Syria. Two crotchety old curmudgeons outwit ISIS and themselves at every turn, putting the fun back in fundamentalism. The book was inspired by the most widely read article in the history of the Atlantic Monthly in March 2015, “What ISIS Really Wants”, by Graeme Wood. I first met Mr. Wood on Malta and my wife and I later spent a week with him and his family in the Azores. Thanks for the inspiration, Graeme.
