Summary:
"How did a group of religious fanatics, clad in black pajamas and armed to the teeth, manage to carve out a violent, fundamentalist "Islamic state" in wide swaths of Syria and Iraq? How did the widely celebrated revolution against Syrian dictator Bashar Assad descend into a movement led by a psychopathically violent band of jihadists dedicated to the destruction of America? And just who are these brutal Islamic militants - many speaking unaccented English and holding European passports - beheading Western hostages in slickly produced videos? Syrian journalist
Hassan
Hassan
and American analyst Michael Weiss explain how the terrorists of ISIS evolved from a nearly defeated insurgent group into a jihadi army - armed with American military hardware and the capability to administer a functioning state. The authors interviewed dozens of experts, American military and intelligence officials, and ISIS fighters to paint a picture of the rise and expansion of America's most formidable terrorist enemy that, unfortunately, shows no signs of going away."--Provided by publisher.
