Synopsis

Based on interviews with Islamic State insiders, Abdel Bari Atwan reveals the origins and modus operandi of the fastest-growing and richest terrorist group in the world. Outlining its leadership structure and strategies, Atwan describes the groups ideological differences with al-Qa'ida and why IS appear to pose a greater threat to the West. He shows how it has masterfully used social media, Hollywood blockbuster-style videos, and even jihadi computer games to spread its message and to recruit young people, from Tunisia to Bradford.

As Islamic State continues to dominate the world s media headlines with acts of ruthless violence, Atwan considers its chances of survival and offers indispensable insight into potential government responses to contain the IS threat.
