In \u003ci\u003eDefeating ISIS\u003c\/i\u003e, internationally renowned intelligence veteran and counter-terrorism expert Malcolm Nance, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Plot to Hack America\u003c\/i\u003e and the forthcoming \u003ci\u003eHacking ISIS\u003c\/i\u003e, gives an insider's view to explain the origins of this occult group, its violent propaganda, and how it spreads its ideology throughout the Middle East and to disaffected youth deep in the heart of the Western world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe group and its followers have struck repeatedly over the past few years: in Paris, Brussels, and Nice; at a center for developmental disabilities in San Bernadino, California; in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. \u003ci\u003eDefeating ISIS\u003c\/i\u003e gives a step-by-step analysis of the street-level tactics the terrorists have employed in assaults against fortified targets, in urban combat, and during terrorist operations both at home and abroad. As much as ISIS is a threat to Western targets and regional stability in the Middle East, Nance describes not only its true danger as a heretical death cult that seeks to wrest control of Islam through young ideologues and redefine Islam as a fight to the death against all comers, but also how to defeat it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUpdated throughout and featuring a new afterword, \u003ci\u003eDefeating ISIS\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly detailed look into the organization by one of the world's foremost authorities in counter-terrorism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Nance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1510729739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510729735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Malcolm Nance","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995029373183,"sku":"9781510729735","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86048a88-6f22-4ba7-824f-7db2e4a75687.jpg?v=1683333547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defeating-isis-malcolm-nance-9781510729735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
