    Summary: 
    "Islamic State, or ISIS, has inspired young men and women around the world to commit heinous acts in its name. By the thousands, they have flooded into the Islamic State's vast stronghold in Syria and Iraq, and in nearly every continent they have carried out attacks under its black banner. It is one of the most popular and successful jihadist groups on the planet, surpassing Bin Laden's al-Qaeda. How did Islamic State attract so many followers? By being more ruthless, more messianic, and more devoted to empire-building than its competitors. The shrewd Islamic State leaders combined two of Islam's most powerful ideas -- the prophesied return of the caliphate(Islamic Empire) and the end of the world -- into a message that shapes its strategy and inspires its army of zealous fighters. Even if the Islamic State is defeated, jihadist terrorism will never be the same. Based almost entirely on primary sources in Arabic--including ancient religious texts and secret al-Qaeda and Islamic State letters, this book explores how religious fervor, strategic calculation, and doomsday prophesy foreshadow this dark future. William McCants directs the project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C."--From publisher.
