The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) continues to exact its murderous values on their perceived enemies with growing ferocity. From the beheading of hostages to the barbaric mass slaughter in cities around the globe, the impact of ISIS is being felt everywhere. As the nations of the world try to protect their citizens from the growing threat of ISIS, what, if anything, can actually be done to prevent the frequent atrocities which occur? How can one group expand its ranks so successfully as to become a real and very present danger to modern societies? With the alarming reports of the indoctrination of sympathisers from every background and nationality, what is it that ISIS offers that attracts so many people to the cause?

This book studies the psychology behind the ISIS phenomenon and explains the rooted causes behind the success of the movement despite an overwhelming international repulsion of its core principles. In the light of the methods used to indoctrinate its members, how can the world be free from the menace of an enemy who is only too willing to die for the cause?
