Items related to Jihad Academy: The Rise of Islamic State
Synopsis
For more than a decade, French journalist Nicolas Hénin has reported from the front lines of conflict in the Middle East, much of his time spent in Iraq and Syria. He witnessed the events leading to the rise of Islamic State, and in June 2013, he was himself captured by ISIS and spent ten months in captivity with James Foley and others who were beheaded soon after Hénin was released. Those barbarities, and the first strikes against Islamic State, prompted Hénin to present inJihad Academy what he knows IS to be, in contrast to the misperceptions he sees perpetuated on an ongoing basis.
Hénin sees Islamic State as a political entity, having arisen out of a sense of injustice and lack of hope, and as the natural result of the Western inability to support Syrian democracy activists. The West, however, sees IS only as a terrorist organization, ignoring its political message and goals; by doing so, we act as a recruitment agent for Islamic State and largely overlook the greatest victims of IS violence--civilians on the ground. IS will only be ultimately defeated, he argues, by the people of the region, just as others have overthrown groups that practiced political violence on their people.
Jihad Academy is a fresh and powerful assessment by a writer with the perspective of a historian, the passion of a journalist long committed to the region, and the credibility of someone who has witnessed terrorism first-hand. Hénin's is an important new voice in the ongoing debate about our role in the Middle East.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 150 pages. Top DJ curled, writing ffep A force de repeter que le pire est toujours certain, il finit par se realiser . La menace terroriste nous a rattrapes. Que ce soit par l'invasion de l'Irak en 2003 ou la non-intervention en Syrie depuis 2011, nous avons alimente la radica lisation. Et nous continuons de la nourrir, par nos compromissions diplomatiques avec des dictateurs, par notre refus d'entendre la souffrance des peuples, par notre incapacite a produire un contre-discours. Quelle est la responsabilite de nos societes dans la fabrique de ces nouveaux djihadistes ? Comment se forment-i ls ? Comment avons-nous fait le jeu de l'Etat islamique et relaye sa propagande pour lui permettre de recruter au sein de nos quartiers toujours plus de candida ts prets a se battre au nom d'un islam fantasme ? Nicolas Henin livre ici un pla idoyer a charge contre l'Occident qui a, par ses erreurs ou son inaction, contri bue au fiasco. Avec des pistes, aussi, pour tenter de reparer ce qui est encore possible.Reporter independant (Le Point, Arte.), Nicolas Henin a passe la plus grande partie de sa carriere entre l'Irak et la Syrie. De la chute de Bagda d a la prise de Raqqa, il a ete temoin des evenements qui ont conduit a l'emerge nce de l'Etat islamique et a frequente au plus pres les djihadistes. Seller Inventory # 5594bl
