Praise for Defeating ISIS:
Malcolm Nance understands you can’t kill an ideology with bombs and bullets and that, as we move from tactics to strategies, our narrative is crucial for the disengagement of the lost souls seeking identity.” Mark Fallon, former deputy commander of the Defense Department’s Criminal Investigation Task Force
ISIS must be stopped at all costs, and the first step toward that goal is to identify who they are, where they are, and how they fight. . . . I’ve survived their suicide bomb attacks; I’ve seen their defeats. Here, I’ve set out to show how ISIS’s street-level tactics led to their rapid victories, as well as the strategies and tactics that will demonstrate how badly they can lose.” From the introduction
This book, the culmination of ten years of dedicated counterterrorism research, provides a practical plan for victory against ISIS. Malcolm Nance an intelligence and security contractor, trainer, and practitioner analyzes all aspects of the deadly terrorist group:
