ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror Hardcover – 29 Mar. 2016

Full of accusations, stating theories are facts when the evidence really doesn't stack up at all. They claim the Syrian war started peacefully, which has been proven wrong. The protests were hijacked by armed Jihadis bused in from Turkey (they stockpiled weapons in mosques before the protest started. The book claims Assad a Shia Muslim supported both AQ & ISIS (Sunnis). There's no factual evidence to support these claims, Assad had locked up anyone with links to AQ for years. They're his biggest allies Russia & Irans enemy also. He had NOTHING to gain from supporting them and everything to lose. And strangely the Authors don't point out the geopolitical tension between Turkey, Qatar, Saudi regimes at all. They're the main supporters of the so-called opposition both with arms, money & logistics, and yet this fact is nowhere to be found in the book. They also don't bring up the fact that ISIS was allied with the FSA from 2013-2015 as well as Nusra Front (Later rebranding as HTS) we were AQ in Syria. It seems there is a bias for the 'rebels' who have committed the same crimes as ISIS had. The blame for everything seems to be targeted as the Syrian government, Russia & Iran. Even the US seems to get a mostly free pass for the blame of invading Iraq and strengthening AQI, which lead to ISIS creation with Saudi support. They also don't seem to question how 80% of AQ & ISIS managed to freely cross the Turkish border into Syria. This book needs to be placed in the Fictional section, very badly researched, or worse, deliberate propaganda.

Carefully researched and written with apparent authority, 'ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror' offers the reader solid and remarkable insights into the history, development and day-to-day reality of life within and around this terrorist caliphate. The writing of this fine and memorable book must have been incredibly laborious and immensely time-consuming. Shocking and unforgettable.

Yes, if you want to know more about this radical groups and where there army, support and momentum springs from then look no where else.

You can't learn about ISIS by watching their atrocities on TV, you need a book like this. It's a very complex story, they seem to have 3 or 4 different names and they change their affiliations every 3 or 4 months. A difficult story to compile, difficult to read ( a few maps might help ) and it must be extremely difficult to fight them. Despite that, the book makes it very clear that these people are organised and they have a sinister agenda.We need to learn what they are trying to do and how they go about it. This is an educational book.

te explica perfectamente todo el origen del ISIS y su expansión hasta 2015. se queda un poco obsoleto por todo lo que ha ocurrido a partir de 2015 y la derrota en IRAK

An exceptionally detailed book on the formation of ISIS and its impact on the situation in Iraq and Syria. The authors provide a substantive reason for westerners to fear this group of blood thirsty terrorists

A brilliant expose of this vile death cult. The complexity of this organisation, at once locked into a 6th century mindset but also very clever and higjly organised terror group indicates how difficult - nigh impossibility - of defeating it .... certainly by continuing the west's ad hoc and symbolic but largely ineffective policies. Sobering and frightening.

I was n able to terminate the reading, too difficult for my mind with too many names and information that result hard to follow

We'll have to wait a few more years to have the perfect book on this subject, but this one is not that bad. It doesn't explain much (lots of facts, but not lots of deep analysis), but it shows some interesting aspects of this ISIS phenomenon : its links with the Syrian regime, and above all, the political and economical reasons of its existence. Chapter 8 to the end of the book especially show how much of a deeply political phenomenon we have to deal with there, where religion, in its extreme form, is nothing more than a "clothing", an excuse for socio-economic upheavals that were to be expected ...

That's it. A merely ok book, with some good informations. Isis is a terror group? A evil state? A wannabe evil Army? A bunch of evils guys? Just time will define the matter.

Well researched and thoughtful book. A must read for Americans who need a better understanding of the issues in the Middle East around terrorism.

Excelente investigación sobre un tema actual que ha provocado una guerra global contra el terrorismo, una lucha dura contra un enemigo que debe ser estudiado

Excellent account of how ISIS started and proliferated throughout Iraq and Syria. Fully researched with credible sources...very readable text. Totally recommend.

Scritto in inglese molto chiaro, gran pregio se chi legge non è di madrelingua, i riferimenti sono completi. Non posso esprimermi con cognizione sui contenuti non essendo un esperto.

Excellent analysis. I like the fact that he explains the origin and root of this horrible phenomenon.

An interesting take of IS & how it functions within.

Informative but a bit hard to follow at times
