The Caliphate's Long Shadow

Résumé du livre

Ten years after the 2014 declaration of the caliphate, ISIS did not collapse - it metastasized. Using never-before-compiled global attack data, court files, leaked financing ledgers, and suppressed government reports, this book proves that 2020-2025 has been the deadliest half-decade for jihadist violence since 2003-2007. From the Sahel (now the world's jihadist epicenter) to lone actors radicalized on encrypted apps in the West, the Islamic State's franchise model - decentralized, media-obsessed, and ideologically purist - has outlived its territory and is still expanding.
