Since 2014, ISIS has been one name making news headlines all over the world. Its executions of people in Iraq and Syria have attracted worldwide condemnation. And its beheadings of foreign journalists, soldiers, and humanitarian workers haven't spared any country. And in recent years, the group has increasingly carried out attacks in European countries and threatened other world superpowers on a number of occasions.
The biggest question troubling many is if we are all at the mercy of the so-called Islamic State, which has proved to be even more ruthless than Al Qaeda.
This book seeks to answer most of the burning questions people have about ISIS. It begins with a look on how the group started. It then goes on to analyze the group's transformation and its near death in 2008 and what led to its survival.
