Islámský stát v Iráku a Sýrii (ISIS) šokoval svět svou brutalitou a odporným stínáním hlav rukojmích. Jeho příslušníci dobyli rozsáhlá území a slíbili vytvořit nový muslimský chalífát pod přísnými pravidly šaría. Americký novinář Michael Weiss a syrský analytik Hassan Hassan vysvětlují, jak se tito extremisté transformovali z téměř poražené povstalecké skupiny na džihádistickou armádu mezinárodních dobrovolníků, která šířila násilí a chaos po Blízkém východě. Autoři popisují klíčové hráče, jako je nepolapitelný vůdce Abu Bakr al-Bagdádí a bývalí baasisté, a zkoumají, odkud přišli, jak získávali podporu a jak fungovali, včetně jejich sociální mediální strategie a obchodu s ropou. Politické a vojenské manévrování Spojených států, Iráku, Íránu a Sýrie podnítilo rychlou expanzi ISIS. Na základě rozhovorů s bývalými americkými vojenskými činiteli a současnými bojovníky ISIS autoři odhalují vnitřní konflikty v hnutí a nenávist vůči šíitským muslimům, což přispívá k sektářské válce v regionu. Nová generace teroru se zrodila, a abychom ji zastavili, musíme pochopit, kdo jsou její aktéři.
Fully Revised & Updated Edition of the New York Times Bestselling and Highly
Praised Book on ISIS §§With newly added material and breaking news
including:§-Interview with a former ISIS spymaster§-Why ISIS is targeting
Europe and the US§-What Russia wants in Syria§-Revelations on the brutal
ideology of ISIS§§With brutal attacks in last year across the globe-Brussels,
Paris, Beirut, Egypt, Turkey-the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has
proved itself the greatest terrorist threat in the world today. They have
conquered massive territories in Syria and Iraq in a bid to create a new
Muslim caliphate under the strict dictates of Sharia law.§§In this fully
revised and updated edition of ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror , American
journalist Michael Weiss and Syrian analyst Hassan Hassan explain how these
violent extremists evolved from a nearly defeated Iraqi insurgent group into a
jihadi army of international volunteers who, with slickly produced murder
videos, are spreading violence and mayhem across the globe. Beginning with the
early days of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the founder of ISIS's first incarnation,
Weiss and Hassan explain who the key players are-from their leader Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi to the former Saddam Baathists in their ranks-where they come
from, how they have attracted both local and global support, and how they
operate-from their social media strategy to their illicit oil revenues. As
money and matériel continue to flow into the region to combat the ISIS's
spreading terror, other forces-Assad's regime, Russian planes, Iranian Quds
Forces, and other Shiite militias-are gaining power and using the fight
against ISIS as a means to leverage their agenda in the region.§§Political and
military maneuvering by the United States, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Russia have
fueled ISIS's explosive expansion. In five new chapters, the authors delve
further into the inner workings of the Army of Terror and what it is like to
live under their ever-tightening rule. With invaluable and exclusive insider
information, the authors explore the Islamic State's enigmatic recruitment and
training methods, the impact of their military successes and failures, and how
they structure and empower home-grown cells worldwide to carry out their
terror. Drawing on original interviews with former US military officials and
current ISIS fighters-and brand-new interviews with a former ISIS spy, as well
as Kurdish and Yazidi survivors of the ISIS's assault on northern Iraq-the
authors reveal the internecine struggles within the movement itself, as well
as ISIS's bloody hatred of Shiite Muslims, which is generating another
sectarian war in the region. A new generation of terror has dawned in the
world and to understand how to stop it, we must understand who they are.
