THE DEFINITIVE BOOK ON ISIS
Jay Sekulow, one of America’s most influential attorneys, closely examines the rise of the terrorist groups ISIS and Hamas, explains their objectives and capabilities and how, if left undefeated, their existence could unleash a genocide of historic proportions.

Recently, the world has been shaken by gruesome photos and videos that have introduced us to the now infamous terrorist group known as ISIS. The world’s wealthiest and most powerful jihadists, ISIS originated within Al Qaeda with the goal of creating an Islamic state across Iraq and Syria and unrelenting jihad on Christians. Separate from ISIS, the terrorist group Hamas has waged an equally brutal war against Israel. Both groups, if left undefeated, have the potential to unleash a catastrophic genocide.

Rise of ISIS gives a better understanding of the modern face of terror,andprovides an overview of the laws of war and war crimes. These laws differentiate between the guilty and innocent, and explain why the US military and the Israeli Defense Forces are often limited in their defensive measures.

The authors’ firsthand experience, including multiple appearances before the Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court at The Hague, along with direct contact battling jihadists during operation Iraqi Freedom lends insight into this important geopolitical issue.

A must-have for anyone who wants to better understand the conflict that exists in the middle east, this well-researched and fully annotated volume is invaluable in revealing how this new brand of terrorism poses a very real threat to Americans and the world at large. It also serves as a guide to what we as individuals—and as a nation—can do to stop this escalating violence, prevent jihad, and protect Israel and America from this imminent threat.

In this expanded edition, Jay tracks the most recent events in the war against ISIS, exposes new dangers, and provides a detailed plan to defeat ISIS and prevent genocide against Christians in the Middle East. ISIS is still growing, and its reach—as Jay predicted in the first edition—is extending across the globe.

Includes a link to an exclusive track from the Jay Sekulow Band, "Where I Stand," a moving tribute to the persecuted Christians in Iraq.

Only about half about ISIS

While this book was ok, it was at least 50 to 60% about Israel's struggle against Hamas and Palestine and a scornful diatribe against the United States' failure to intervene more for Israel, instead of being solely about history and future of ISIS as the title implies.

Assholes

Would you listen to Rise of ISIS again? Why?

Obama did this he is it part of it Allowed all this to happen in the name of socialism. He sent to IsIS in middle of the night. Obama is no leader he has his trainers trained monkey With the Music Machine turn the crank you know begging for dollars I want to know where the 14 trillion went to We the people do not owe a dime to the country we've already paid they were over spent Massage six figure income they need to take and so on minimum wage Just like the rest of us.

The Crusades... This isn't the first time that the Muslims have tried to take over the world back in the 1400s They tried in the church sentThe Knights Templars to stop the slaughter Of millions of people. They are like locusts that spread and destroy

What does Jay Sekulow bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I haven't been able to download the book to read it I just know what it's about

Any additional comments?

Fix your system. And by the way it said that it was free In the app and not using its 14 dollars and some change a month to read my book or listen to my books whenever I can get them downloaded. I buy books I should be able to listen to them free

A few interesting nuggets, overall not great

Any additional comments?

Hearing this on audio book was annoying. He read it so fast it was almost in a fervor. I had to play it on .75x speed. He really rushes through some complex concepts. It was okay, perhaps a little one-sided and rambly, but a good brief overview of some complex issues. He starts by examining the ideology and history of Muslim jihadists. He then mainly looks at the legal justifications for our actions against Muslim terrorists based on international laws of war, as well as the international laws of war that terrorists violate. If you're hoping for an examination of the moral issues and cultural ramifications of this war, then look elsewhere.

Good view on ISIS and Hamas

This book is highly.educational on areas terrorism and Islam: the rise of ISIS and the terrorist activities of Hamas. Good book to listen to on the road.

Great read.

The author talked more about Hamas than ISIS, but it was a great read nonetheless.
