By conducting thematic and narrative analyses of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) propagandist magazines, as well as looking at the group's online communities, the book demonstrates that terrorist groups behave as commercial brands by establishing an emotional connection with their potential recruits. Specifically, groups and their potential supporters follow the logic of emotional choice. The book emphasizes that while ISIS became the first group that discovered and benefited from the power of marketing, it did not have a supernatural power and thus it is possible to find a response to it, which is particularly important now. The book eventually poses a question about whether terrorism has become the product of marketing in the same way as any mainstream consumer product is, and asks what can we do to battle the appeal of marketing-savvy terrorist groups.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students of terrorism studies, radicalisation, and propaganda, communication, and security studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Kruglova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103224917X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032249179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Anna Kruglova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076242141439,"sku":"9781032249179","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89f13758-5b64-47a1-a56c-b388641a7698.jpg?v=1685463931","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/terrorist-recruitment-propaganda-and-branding-anna-kruglova-9781032249179","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
