ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror (Updated Edition) (1)

Fully Revised & Updated Edition of theÂ New York TimesÂ Bestselling and Highly Praised Book on ISIS

With newly added material and breaking news including:
â€”Interview with a former ISIS spymaster
â€”Why ISIS is targeting Europe and the US
â€”What Russia wants in Syria
â€”Revelations on the brutal ideology of ISIS

With brutal attacks inÂ last year across the globeâ€”Brussels,Â Paris, Beirut,Â Egypt, Turkeyâ€”the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)Â has proved itself the greatest terrorist threat in the world today.Â They have conquered massive territories in Syria andÂ Iraq in a bid to create a new Muslim caliphate under theÂ strict dictates of Sharia law.Â

In this fully revised and updated edition of ISIS: InsideÂ the Army of Terror, American journalist Michael Weiss andÂ Syrian analyst Hassan Hassan explain how these violentÂ extremists evolved from a nearly defeated Iraqi insurgentÂ group into a jihadi army of international volunteers who,Â with slickly produced murder videos, are spreading violenceÂ and mayhem across the globe. Beginning with theÂ early days of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the founder of ISISâ€™sÂ first incarnation, Weiss and Hassan explain who the keyÂ players areâ€”from their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to theÂ former Saddam Baathists in their ranksâ€”where they comeÂ from, how they have attracted both local and global support,Â and how they operateâ€”from their social media strategy toÂ their illicit oil revenues. As money and matÃ©riel continue toÂ flow into the region to combat the ISISâ€™s spreading terror,Â other forcesâ€”Assadâ€™s regime, Russian planes, Iranian QudsÂ Forces, and other Shiite militiasâ€”are gaining power and usingÂ the fight against ISIS as a means to leverage theirÂ agenda in the region.

Political and military maneuvering by the United States,Â Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Russia have fueled ISISâ€™s explosive expansion.Â In five new chapters, the authors delve further intoÂ the inner workings of the Army of Terror and what it is like toÂ live under their ever-tightening rule. With invaluable and exclusiveÂ insider information, the authors explore the IslamicÂ Stateâ€™s enigmatic recruitment and training methods, the impactÂ of their military successes and failures, and how theyÂ structure and empower home-grown cells worldwide toÂ carry out their terror. Drawing on original interviews withÂ former US military officials and current ISIS fightersâ€”andÂ brand-new interviews with a former ISIS spy, as well asÂ Kurdish and Yazidi survivors of the ISISâ€™s assault on northernÂ Iraqâ€”the authors reveal the internecine struggles withinÂ the movement itself, as well as ISISâ€™s bloody hatred of ShiiteÂ Muslims, which is generating another sectarian war inÂ the region. A new generation of terror has dawned in theÂ world and to understand how to stop it, we must understandÂ who they are.
