State of Terror: The War Against ISIS Kindle Edition

by The Washington Post (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.8 out of 5 stars 37 ratings
A collection of articles on how ISIS took over a region the size of the UK, sparked a humanitarian crisis, and developed into a global threat.
 
With coordinated attacks in Paris and the downing of a Russian passenger plane, the Islamic State (ISIS) declared war on the wider world, galvanizing new calls for an intensified global response.
 
The Washington Post spent a year tracking the political and military spread of ISIS—investigating its roots and chronicling what life is really like for the people under its rule. Kevin Sullivan, a senior correspondent for the paper, conducted a series of interviews, often in secret, with people who have fled the “Caliphate.” Other correspondents, including Souad Mekhennet and Loveday Morris, spoke with those still inside. What they discovered is that, while world leaders watched, the Islamic State instituted a brutal, tiered society, in which the faithful are given control, in which women are in constant danger, and wherein dissent is met with swift and deadly retribution.
 
This is the inside story of how ISIS combined the bloodiest aspects of religion, terrorism and statehood and became a global threat.

    I was hoping this book would give some more insight into how ISIS came about in the first place, although it is more a collection of reports of what goes on within ISIS from anonymous sources. Although stories of beheadings and children the age of 9 being married off is sickening. Also explains/reports how some people/troubled youths decide to go and join ISIS.

    The book was very informative on the activities of ISIS. It covered a wide range of areas related to ISIS and their activities in the Middle-East but also up to date with the terrorist attack in Paris in November 2015. It is a useful book for every one to read. The different journalists write well and engaging.
