Empire of Fear Inside the Islamic State

Based on extensive reporting across the Middle East, this vital and timely book charts the rise of the most threatening strand of radical Islam to occur in the modern era. Taking the reader inside a totalitarian regime run from the back of pick-up trucks and a propaganda machine built on smart phones, it unpicks the brutal ideology and exterminationist methods against which the West now fights, and finally explores how the Islamic State could be defeated, not just territorially, but also in the minds of those who support it.
