Description

The Master Plan: ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the Jihadi Strategy for Final Victory by Brian Fishman A detailed narrative history of the Islamic State's development from its 2005 master plan to reestablish the Caliphate, this book explores the organization's complex past and its future prospects. Drawing on recently declassified documents captured from the group and its predecessors, counterterrorism expert Brian Fishman sheds light on the strategy that drove the Islamic State's actions. The story of the Islamic State is one of a carefully laid plan, devised by al-Qaeda's operations chief Sayf al-Adl, which aimed to conquer the world by 2020. Despite a significant split between the group and its predecessor, Fishman reveals how the master plan has proven remarkably prescient, with key milestones achieved in rapid succession. By understanding the Islamic State's full history, readers can gain insight into the contradictions that may ultimately tear it apart. This book provides a unique perspective on the organization's development and strategy, making it an essential read for those seeking to comprehend the complexities of modern terrorism.
