The Islamic State analyzes the transformation of ISIS (Daesh) from an underground insurgent organization to a quasi-state entity. It traces the genesis and evolution of what may be interpreted as a revolutionary war aimed at the creation and expansion of a new society and world order in the ruins of Syria and Iraq.

This book:

  • Analyzes the regime's totalitarian features including structure, ideology, propaganda, and violence;
  • Examines its ideology with a focus on radical Islamism and Salafi-jihadism;
  • Studies the economics behind its continued existence; and
  • Explores the attitude of key state and non-state actors, especially Russia, USA, and the Global Coalition, towards Daesh.
  • An indispensable guide to the study of modern terrorism, this book will be of great interest to students and researchers of Middle East studies, terrorism, with a focus on ISIS, military and strategic studies, politics and international relations, as well as general readers.
