The first major book on ISIS to be published since the group
exploded on the international stage in summer 2014. Drawing on
their unusual access to intelligence sources and material, law
enforcement, and groundbreaking research into open source
intelligence, Stern and Berger outline the origins of ISIS as the
formidable terrorist group it has quickly become. 'State of Terror'
delves into the 'ghoulish pornography' of pro-jihadi videos, the
seductive appeal of 'jihadi chic' and the startling effectiveness
of the Islamic State's use of social media as a means of luring and
recruiting citizens from countries such as the United States, Great
Britain, and France-using recent examples such as Douglas McCain,
the American citizen from Minnesota who joined ISIS and died in
combat fighting on the side of the Islamic State. Although the
picture Stern and Berger paint is bleak, 'State of Terror' also
offers well-informed thoughts on potential government responses to
ISIS - most importantly, emphasizing that we must alter our present
conceptions of terrorism and react to the rapidly changing jihadi
landscape, both online and off, as quickly as the terrorists do.
'State of Terror: Jihad in the 21st Century' is not only a
compelling account of the evolution of a terrorist organization,
but also a necessary book that attempts to answer the question of
what our next move - as a country, as a government, as the world -
should be.
