I've tried reading other books about ISIS, Al Qaeda, radical jihadists, militant Islam, etc., including Joby Warrick's "Black Flags"; Geert Wilders "Marked for Death: Islam's War Against the West and Me"; Ali Soufan's "The Black Banners"; Glen Beck's "It IS About Islam"; Mark Steyn's "America Alone"; Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "Heretic"; Yaroslav Trofimov's "The Seige of Mecca"; Kenneth Timmerman's "Preachers of Hate"; Bernard Lewis' "The Crisis of Islam"; Brigitte Gabriel's "They Must be Stopped"; Kirk Lippold's "Front Burner"; George Friedman's "America's Secret War"; etc., and they all provided insights, but none truly helped me understand the draw of ISIS to outsiders.
While I expect I'll never fully have my questions answered, this book about ISIS by Jessica Stern and J. M. Berger probably provides the best explanation of how and why ISIS is able to draw people to its ranks. I won't try to paraphrase the author's explanations, because it's complex, broad, and I couldn't do it justice. Other books describe how ISIS was formed, and talk about the significant leaders of ISIS, but this book, while being somewhat dry in parts, still provides the best explanation of how it's able to draw recruits and to expand its influence in Syria, Iraq, and now in other regions as well.
