ISIS—the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria—has taken on the
mantle of being the single most dangerous terrorist threat
to global security since al-Qaeda. In Defeating ISIS,
internationally renowned intelligence veteran, author, and
counter-terrorism expert Malcolm Nance gives an insider’s
view to explain the origins of this occult group, its
violent propaganda, and how it spreads its ideology
throughout the Middle East and to disaffected youth deep in
the heart of the Western world. Most importantly, Defeating ISIS gives an amply illustrated,
step-by-step analysis of the street-level tactics the group
has employed in assaults against fortified targets, in urban
combat, and during terrorist operations such as those in
Paris during the November 13 attacks. As much as ISIS is a threat to Western targets and regional
stability in the Middle East, Nance describes not only its
true danger as a heretical death cult that seeks to wrest
control of Islam through young ideologues and redefine Islam
as a fight to the death against all comers, but also how to
defeat it. Defeating ISIS is the first highly detailed and fully
illustrated look into the organization by one of the world’s
foremost authorities in counter-terrorism.
