Rise of ISIS: a threat we can't ignore (Howard Books trade paperback edition.)

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.

This book gives a better understanding of the modern face of terror,and provides 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.
