Jeremy’s Reviews > Defeating ISIS: Who They Are, How They Fight, What They Believe > Status Update

This continues to be an impressively thorough piece of research, although now somewhat out of date. Nance's determination to paint ISIS as an aberrant rather than extreme version of Islam is, however, undercut both by his comparisons with Saudi Arabia (which don't seem to be as stark as he thinks they are) and a departure from the more dispassionate tone of earlier sections. Nevertheless, a fascinating read.
