This title for school students recounts the origins and beliefs of the terrorist group known as the Islamic State or ISIS, and describes its brutal practices, propaganda and recruitment techniques, plus details of the experiences of Westerners who become involved, and future developments. The journalist Clive Crook was reported as stating that "The ISIS jihadis have a purpose, a religious rationale and a global network of supporters and enablers. The scale of their project, its ambition, and its limitless cruelty make it far more dangerous than previous enterprises" This book tackles these and other thorny issues related to twenty-first century global terrorism.
