Based on extensive field work, this book analyzes how ISIS - a widely hated, massively outnumbered, and ludicrously outgunned organization - managed to occupy over 120 cities, towns, and villages from the Southern Philippines to Western Libya. Seeking to understand ISIS's combat effectiveness, Omar Ashour focuses on the military and tactical innovations of ISIS and their predecessors in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Egypt.
