About this listen
Terrorism expert Erick Stakelbeck pulls back the curtain on ISIS, the violent terrorist organization spreading death and hate in the Middle East. The rise of ISIS took the White House by complete surprise: President Obama called the group "JV" then was forced to reassess when ISIS began executing innocent American journalists. Now radicalized Americans and Europeans are joining ISIS' ranks.
So who is ISIS? How powerful are they? And are they a threat to the homeland? Stakelbeck, a veteran national security reporter and a leading authority on the Middle East, has produced the definitive guide to America's most recent and most frightening enemy.

Story
The threat of terrorism in America, the Obama administration assures us, is contained and controlled. Attempted attacks like the Times Square bombing, the “underwear bombing” on a flight over Detroit, and the attack on a Christmas-tree lighting ceremony in Oregon were all isolated plots that failed. In the words of Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano, “The system worked.” Don't believe it.

The Muslim Brotherhood, or Ikhwan, has engaged in terrorism, assassinations, and anti-Western, anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence for almost a century - yet few Americans realize how powerful they really are. While we focus on al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah, it's actually the Muslim Brotherhood, the world's oldest, most influential, and most anti-American Islamist group, that has become the preeminent voice and power in the Muslim world.

History is about so much more than memorizing facts. It is, as more than half of the word suggests, about the story. And, told in the right way, it is the greatest one ever written: Good and evil, triumph and tragedy, despicable acts of barbarism and courageous acts of heroism.The things you've never learned about our past will shock you. For example, the reason why gun control is so important to government elites can be found in a story about Athens. Not the city in ancient Greece, but the one in 1946 Tennessee.

Since 9/11, more than 300 Americans - born and raised in Minnesota, Alabama, New Jersey, and elsewhere - have been indicted or convicted of terrorism charges. Some have taken the fight abroad: An American was among those who planned the attacks in Mumbai, and more than 80 US citizens have been charged with ISIS-related crimes. Others have acted on American soil, as with the attacks at Fort Hood, at the Boston Marathon, and in San Bernardino. What motivates them, how are they trained, and what do we sacrifice in our efforts to track them?

Story
The Islamic State, known as ISIS, exploded into the public eye in 2014 with startling speed and shocking brutality. It has captured the imagination of the global jihadist movement, attracting recruits in unprecedented numbers and wreaking bloody destruction with a sadistic glee that has alienated even the hardcore terrorists of its parent organization, al Qaeda. Jessica Stern and J.M. Berger, two of America’s leading experts on terrorism, dissect the new model for violent extremism that ISIS has leveraged into an empire of death in Iraq and Syria, and an international network that is rapidly expanding in the Middle East, North Africa and around the world.

Whatever else the United States intended when it invaded Iraq in the spring of 2003, it was not to hand the country over to a 32-year-old militant cleric who fought against the U.S. presence from the start and was described by former Iraqi administrator L. Paul Bremer III as a "Bolshevik Islamist".

Story
Given how quickly its operations have achieved global impact, it may seem that the Islamic State materialized suddenly. In fact, al-Qaeda's operations chief, Sayf al-Adl, devised a seven-stage plan for jihadis to conquer the world by 2020 that included reestablishing the Caliphate in Syria between 2013 and 2016. Despite a massive schism between the Islamic State and al-Qaeda, al-Adl's plan has proved remarkably prescient. In summer 2014, ISIS declared itself the Caliphate after capturing Mosul, Iraq - part of stage five in al-Adl's plan.

Bruce Hoffman's Inside Terrorism has remained a seminal work for understanding the historical evolution of terrorism and the terrorist mindset. In this revised edition of the classic text, Hoffman analyzes the new adversaries, motivations, and tactics of global terrorism that have emerged in recent years, focusing specifically on how al Qaeda has changed since 9/11; the reasons behind its resiliency, resonance, and longevity; and its successful use of the internet and videotapes to build public support and gain new recruits.

How did the Islamic State attract so many followers and conquer so much land? By being more ruthless, more apocalyptic, and more devoted to state building than its competitors. The shrewd leaders of the Islamic State combined two of the most powerful yet contradictory ideas in Islam - the return of the Islamic Empire and the end of the world - into a mission and a message that shapes its strategy and inspires its army of zealous fighters.

A good basic overview
This is a good place to start if you are interested in learning about ISIS and radical Islam. But for people who follow these issues closely there is little to learn in this book.

Americans should read this book
I am a 9/11 Family and find it surreal where we are as a nation. Americans need to reAd this book to WAKE UP! The ONLY hope for Americans is a Great Awakening! We Americans NEED to humble ourselves and return to Almighty God, the God of the Pilgrims who brought the Judeo-Christian values to America. Life, Liberty, HapPIness cannot happen without the Giver of Life. America is a nation gone adrift. Yet even in this late hour God, who is great in mercy can turn us around. What will our children and grand children say of our generation. Christian leaders need to bring prayer to the forefront and never stop praying for divine intervention. Americans have no clue how desperate we really are. May Jehovah God have pity on us and send his power to America again. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Well Done!
Clear, factual and motivating with the exhortation to do something about it.
Stakelbeck knows what he is talking about and does so with passion.

The facts speak for themselves but the PC liberals in our country and most European countries are in denial and wearing earplugs.

Parroted right-wing garbage.
This reads like something a junior anchor on Fox News would write. Nothing much new here, just a poorly written and disjointed series of essays ripped from new stories we've already read. The author's thesis seems to be -- big surprise -- that Obama is somehow to blame.
If you watch Fox News exclusively, perhaps you'll enjoy it, but you've probably heard it all before.

Too biased
I was looking for a book on Isis found in well documented research and historical sources. What I got was right wing rhetoric and fear mongering disguised and an objective look into the terrorist organization.
If you are interested in the book please research the author so you get good idea what the content of the book is going to be. Make sure you are satisfied with his background and the sources to sites when he gives facts.

Couldn't bear more than 2 1/2 chapters
Would you try another book from Erick Stakelbeck and/or Tom Perkins?
Absolutely not!
Would you ever listen to anything by Erick Stakelbeck again?
No.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narration was fine.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No.
Any additional comments?
The title is faudulent. This book is less about ISIS and more about the authors criticism of the Obama administration. You'll get far more info from Michael Weiss or Jody Warrick's books which have no shortage of criticism for either the Bush or Obama administrations but spend very little time doing so and withhold any insults, unlike this book. The author is absurdly biased and loses credibility as a result. Topics are only covered deeply enough to support his anti-Obama screed, which robs the reader of true understanding of the complex form and history of ISIS, a truly fascinating topic. If you are truly looking to better understand ISIS, look elsewhere!
