About the Author:
Review:
Brian L. Steed is assistant professor of military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and a U.S. Army Middle East foreign area officer.
"This work provides a nuanced view on a complex subject, showing empathy for the organization, its objectives, and its members." - Booklist
"ISIS: An Introduction and Guide to the Islamic State delivers precisely what the title suggests―a well-organized primer that escorts readers through the complex task of understanding a 'state' very different from their own. . . . Brian Steed masterfully distills this information into a 'so what' reference guide for anyone wanting to make sense of the conflict or understand the salafi-jihadist narrative. . . . [T]he author's unique contribution to the field is his ability to synthesize key ideas and make them accessible to ordinary readers. ISIS: An Introduction and Guide to the Islamic State is a 'one-stop' reference guide suitable for both commanders and those wanting to make sense of the nightly news. It would be an excellent addition to any battalion or squadron library." - Military Review
