Rise Of ISIS: A Threat We Can't Ignore

THE DEFINITIVE BOOK ON ISISJay Sekulow, one of America’s most influential attorneys, closely examines the rise of the terrorist groups ISIS and Hamas, explains their objectives and capabilities and how, if left undefeated, their existence could unleash a genocide of historic proportions.Recently, the world has been shaken by gruesome photos and videos that have introduced us to the now infamous terrorist group known as ISIS. The world’s wealthiest and most powerful jihadists, ISIS originated within Al Qaeda with the goal of creating an Islamic state across Iraq and Syria and unrelenting jihad on Christians. Separate from ISIS, the terrorist group Hamas has waged an equally brutal war against Israel. Both groups, if left undefeated, have the potential to unleash a catastrophic genocide. Rise of ISIS gives a better understanding of the modern face of terror, and provides an overview of the laws of war and war crimes. These laws differentiate between the guilty and innocent, and explain why the US military and the Israeli Defense Forces are often limited in their defensive measures. The authors’ firsthand experience, including multiple appearances before the Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court at The Hague, along with direct contact battling jihadists during operation Iraqi Freedom lends insight into this important geopolitical issue. A must-have for anyone who wants to better understand the conflict that exists in the middle east, this well-researched and fully annotated volume is invaluable in revealing how this new brand of terrorism poses a very real threat to Americans and the world at large. It also serves as a guide to what we as individuals—and as a nation—can do to stop this escalating violence, prevent jihad, and protect Israel and America from this imminent threat.

I bought this book at the airport on a recent trip to Tampa. From the title and what I read on the back of the cover I thought this would be a great book to get me up to date on ISIS. I've had tours to Iraq, but not for several years and I've been focusing on other areas so a book that could take me from around 2006-present and explain in the detail that only a book can offer was exactly what I was looking for. I have to give this book two-stars because the title and what I reasonably expected the book to cover was very misleading. If it wasn't for the fact that the book was fairly well written, information was cited and referenced it would have only received one star from me for being misleading and trying to capitalize on the ISIS hype.Summary: The book goes into more detail on ISIS in the first few chapters than you will get from television or news articles. This is good. The final two-thirds of the book is devoted to Hamas and the dangers of underestimating that threat and some comparison and contrast between the two terror groups. Then there are two whole chapters devoted to the law of armed conflict and the ways that Hamas violates it (sometimes mentioning ISIS also) and then the dangers of increasingly restricting the Israeli military response to Hamas.Who will like this: Someone with limited familiarity with ISIS and Hamas will find this book an easy read and informative. Someone who wants to get more information about the legality and level of response by the IDF in reaction to militants in Gaza, and particularly for the most recent conflict, again there is lots of information on this subject.Who won't like this: Me, or someone looking for an in-depth look at how ISIS came about.
