Defeating ISIS: Who They Are, How They Fight, What They Believe

Description

A New York Times bestseller! This reference shows how to understand the
history and tactics of the global terror group ISIS—and how to use that
knowledge to defeat it. ISIS—the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria—has taken on
the mantle of being the single most dangerous terrorist threat to global
security since al-Qaeda. In Defeating ISIS, internationally renowned
intelligence veteran and counter-terrorism expert Malcolm Nance, author of The
Plot to Hack America and the forthcoming Hacking ISIS, gives an insider’s view
to explain the origins of this occult group, its violent propaganda, and how
it spreads its ideology throughout the Middle East and to disaffected youth
deep in the heart of the Western world. Most importantly, Defeating ISIS gives
an amply illustrated, step-by-step analysis of the street-level tactics the
group has employed in assaults against fortified targets, in urban combat, and
during terrorist operations such as those in Paris during the November 13
attacks. As much as ISIS is a threat to Western targets and regional stability
in the Middle East, Nance describes not only its true danger as a heretical
death cult that seeks to wrest control of Islam through young ideologues and
redefine Islam as a fight to the death against all comers, but also how to
defeat it. Defeating ISIS is the first highly detailed and fully illustrated
look into the organization by one of the world’s foremost authorities in
counter-terrorism. Read more
