Samenvatting

The first major book on ISIS to be published since the group exploded on the international stage in summer 2014. Drawing on their unusual access to intelligence sources and material, law enforcement, and groundbreaking research into open source intelligence, Jessica Stern and J M Berger outline the origins of ISIS (known variously as ISIL and IS) as the formidable terrorist group it has quickly become. 'ISIS: The State of Terror' delves into the 'ghoulish pornography' of pro-jihadi videos, the seductive appeal of 'jihadi chic' and the startling effectiveness of the Islamic State's use of social media as a means of luring and recruiting citizens from countries such as the United States, Great Britain, and France-using recent examples such as Douglas McCain, the American citizen from Minnesota who joined ISIS and died in combat fighting on the side of the Islamic State. Although the picture Stern and Berger paint is bleak, 'State of Terror' also offers well-informed thoughts on potential government responses to ISIS - most importantly, emphasizing that we must alter our present conceptions of terrorism and react to the rapidly changing jihadi landscape, both online and off, as quickly as the terrorists do. 'ISIS: The State of Terror' is not only a compelling account of the evolution of a terrorist organization, but also a necessary book that attempts to answer the question of what our next move - as a country, as a government, as the world - should be.

    An interesting and good book.

    Clear and easy to follow with a nice overlap of topics to show their relation with one another.
    Some good suggestions from the writers on the handling of problems, but they are rare in that they are tucked in here and there and do not dominate the book. we are taking, all in all, maybe 2 pages on a total of 300+

    The book nicely explains and reveals how the whole subject came to be, functions and what it aims to achieve. It is a surprisingly "neutral" book that does not "Cry Wolf", despite the gravity of the subject. It leaves thee reader "calm" in a sense and with so much more knowledge how to view it all.

    Many would do well to read this book, maybe especially the media, the military and the politicians.
