It's a very dry read but there's a 1000 page CPA report that covers the entire occupation and what the US did after the invasion in mind-numbing detail, what went wrong and why. Let me see if I can find it, I wrote a low-level uni paper on it like a year or two ago. I think it was written by Paul Bremer but as I recall it was very frank about the mistakes that occured.
Edit: Here it is: https://books.google.se/books?id=OjM3DTks4ekC&pg=PA455&lpg=PA455&dq=coalition+provisional+authority+inspector+general+report+pdf&source=bl&ots=hSKJEkUytk&sig=ofhqub7tKjjNociRy8vg77vHwK4&hl=sv&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjesuKa86zSAhXB6CwKHbVpAsE4ChDoAQhIMAg#v=onepage&q&f=false
This report covers basically the entire occupation and thus the reason why IS exists, or at least exists as something more than just another Syrian Islamist opposition faction.
I haven't read any books about ISIS beyond that. If you want a book on politics/foreign affairs/the international system that covers
relevant concepts like power vacuums, states and so on, this book is the best textbook I've ever had in uni and it has pretty much everything: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Globalization-World-Politics-Introduction-International/dp/0198739850/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1488081222&sr=1-1
‘The Globalization of World Politics: An Introduction to International Relations’ (Oxford University Press) is excellent. It covers international relations theory, plus the global issues and changes facing world politics, effectively setting the stage for any deeper reading on geopolitics and international relations.
I’d also recommend iTunes U for introductory courses, plus podcasts and lectures (app of choice or YouTube) from academics. Plenty of good stuff out there for free to supplement reading.

I'm far from an expert (or even particularly knowledgeable) on political philosophy but I highly recommend The Oxford Handbook of Political Philosophy for an overview of the important concepts of political philosophy. It has a bit of a focus on Rawls and Nozick, but covers pretty much all the other bases too.
Again hardly an expert on IR, but I found The Globalization of World Politics: An Introduction to International Relations to be an excellent intro textbook.
These aren't necessary 'neoliberal' books, but I would highly recommend them to anyone before wading through some of the classic primary sources on these topics. People might get a little bit lost in there otherwise.
