New Book on Islamic State by Stern and Berger
Jessica Stern (who wrote Terror in the Name of God: Why Religious Militants Kill) and J.M. Berger have a new book that should be of interest to Lawfare readers: ISIS: The State of Terror. The book is a fascinating history of The Islamic State, a rich of explanation of its motives, means, and lure, and an argument about how to fight it (and how not to).

Here are two excerpts from the Guardian and one in The Atlantic. Highly recommended.
