520    "How did a group of religious fanatics, clad in black 
       pajamas and armed to the teeth, manage to carve out a 
       violent, fundamentalist "Islamic state" in wide swaths of 
       Syria and Iraq? How did the widely celebrated revolution 
       against Syrian dictator Bashar Assad descend into a 
       movement led by a psychopathically violent band of 
       jihadists dedicated to the destruction of America? And 
       just who are these brutal Islamic militants--many speaking
       unaccented English and holding European passports--
       beheading Western hostages in slickly produced videos? In 
       ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror, Syrian journalist Hassan 
       Hassan and American analyst Michael Weiss explain how the 
       terrorists of ISIS evolved from a nearly defeated 
       insurgent group into a jihadi army--armed with American 
       military hardware and the capability to administer a 
       functioning state. Weiss and Hassan, who have both been on
       the frontlines of the Syrian revolution, have interviewed 
       dozens of experts, American military and intelligence 
       officials, and ISIS fighters to paint the first 
       comprehensive picture of the rise and expansion of 
       America's most formidable terrorist enemy. ISIS: Inside 
       the Army of Terror is destined to become the standard text
       on a terror group that, unfortunately, shows no signs of 
       going away" --|cProvided by publisher.
