ISIS : inside the army of terror / Michael Weiss, Hassan Hassan. by Weiss, Michael (Michael Douglas) Regan Arts, [2015]. Call #: 956.054 W431i Subjects IS (Organization)   Terrorists -- Iraq.   Terrorists -- Syria.   Terrorism -- Middle East.   Terrorism -- Religious aspects -- Islam.   Jihad -- History -- 21st century.   Islamic fundamentalism -- Middle East -- History -- 21st century.   Religious fanaticism -- Middle East. ISBN:  9781941393574 (pbk.) Edition:  First Regan Arts paperback edition. Description:  xvi, 270 pages ; 21 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographic references (pages 243-267). 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.
