From\nits base in Iraq and Syria, IS has spread globally with 17 regional affiliates\nfrom Indonesia to Nigeria and sleeper cells in at least 60 countries, capable\nof atrocities like the Paris attack. To understand the threat of IS, this book explores\nits organizational structure and underlying ideology, and implications for\nWestern efforts to attack the leadership of IS. The ways IS has grown by\nswiftly adapting its military strategy, developing creative forms of funding and\nefforts to win hearts and minds of locals are identified.
