On 19 August 2014, a member of the jihadist rebel group known as
ISIS uploaded a video to YouTube. Entitled 'Message to America',
the clip depicted the final moments of the life of kidnapped
American journalist James Foley - and the gruesome aftermath of his
beheading at the hands of a masked executioner. Foley's murder -
and the other choreographed killings that would follow - captured
the world's attention, and Islamic State's campaign of kidnapping
exploded into regional war. Based on three years of on-the-ground
reporting from every side of the Syrian conflict, Hunting Season is
James Harkin's quest to uncover the truth about how and why Islamic
State came to target Western hostages, who was behind it and why
almost no one outside a small group of people knew anything about
it until it was too late. He reveals how the campaign of kidnapping
and the development of Islamic State were joined at the hip from
the beginning. The book is an utterly absorbing account of the
world's newest and most powerful terror franchise and what it means
for modern war.
