ISIS (or the Islamic State), Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, and the Taliban are all separate manifestations of a new non-state dynamic which has begun to drive international conflict and which now represents a new form of asymmetric and hybrid warfare. In this important and original analysis, Paul Rogers, a distinguished global security specialist, provides an account of the rise of such global terrorist movements from the margins, presenting an argument as troubling as it is compelling: if the rise of ISIS can overthrow powerful states in a matter of weeks, what kind of a secure future can the world expect?
