Whatever you call it -- ISIL, ISIS or Daesh, -- the self-described Islamic State has eclipsed al-Qaida as the best known and most feared Islamist terror group in the world. The Paris attacks in November 2015 show why it’s feared and just how deadly it can be. This book offers the real facts about the terror movement as the world steps up efforts to combat the extremists. It delves deeply into the world of arms sales, showing how the terrorist group acquires weapons, how it recruits young people in the U.S., and how it uses social media to get cash and soldiers. It also looks at the looting and war booty ISIL/ISIS has collected, showing rare images of the items that have been stolen and sold to pay for terrorism.
