Providing up-to-date information for general readers as well as
those well-informed about the Islamic State, this book offers an
essential understanding of the rise of ISIS and its current
influence in the Middle East as well as worldwide. ISIS—also
referred to as ISIL, the Islamic State, or Daesh—began to assert
its power and gain recognition for its militant and terroristic
activities in April 2013. After the coordinated attacks in Paris on
November 13th, 2015, ISIS has captured the full attention of
observers in the West. This accessible book explains what ISIS is,
what the group's goals are, what their members believe, and why
their ranks are growing. Readers will gain an understanding of how
ISIS is a unique group—one seeking to be the army of the
righteous fighting to defeat the unbelievers and usher in the end
of days—but that the extremist views of ISIS are an expression of
a growing frustration with life in the Middle East and elsewhere
shared by a larger community of non-state and post-state actors.
The book provides an introduction that documents the origins of
ISIS within the larger Al Qaeda organization during the Iraq War.
The following chapters discuss the origins, development, and
territorial expansion of ISIS in Syria and Iraq and examine the
ideological motivations behind the emergence of ISIS, thereby
enabling a nuanced understanding of the importance of ISIS in
contemporary history. Other entries discuss individuals, events,
and organizations that put ISIS in historical context in terms of
contemporary events since the Iraq War into the present and explain
the group's position within the complex conflict currently boiling
in the Middle East.
