What does ISIS really want? This is the
definitive account of the strategy, psychology,
and fundamentalism driving the Islamic
State.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
BYFOREIGN AFFAIRS82268220Worthy of Joseph
Conrad . . . gripping, sobering and
revelatory.82218212Tom Holland,New
StatesmanThe Islamic State inspired a wave of
true believers to travel to Syria from Europe,
America, and the Middle East, in numbers not seen
since the Crusades. What compelled tens of
thousands of men and women to leave comfortable,
privileged lives to join a death cult in the
desert? Steven Pinker called Graeme
Wood8217sanalysis of this phenomenon inThe
Atlantic8220facinating, terrifying,
occasionally blackly humorous.8221InThe Way of
the Strangers, Wood uses character study,
analysis, and original reporting to take us
further into the Islamic State8217sapocalyptic
vision.Though the Islamic State has lost
territory, it threatens to rise again, and its
followers are plotting on every continent. From
the streets of Cairo to the mosques of London,
Wood meets with supporters, recruiters, and
scholars and asks them why they believe that
killing and dying for this cause is the only path
to Paradise. With a new afterword,The Way of the
Strangersuncovers the theology and emotional
appeal of this resilient group and explores its
idiosyncratic, coherent approach to Islam. Just
as Lawrence Wright8217sTe Looming
Towerexplained the rise of Al Qaida, this book
will shape our understanding of a new and
deadlier generation of terrorists.Praise for The
Way of the Strangers8220Th Way of the
Strangersrepresents journalism at its best vivid
writing, indefatigable legwork, and fearless
analysis.82218212Robert D. Kaplan, author
ofThe Return of Marco Polo8217sWorld8220Wod
is a brilliant analyst and storyteller, and his
firsthand reporting and language abilities make
him the most reliable commentator on the Islamic
State that I have read. His wit matches his
intelligence (8217Wel-behaved Salafis

seldom make history82178212yo don't get
through any two pages in his book without a good
laugh.82218212Peter Theroux, author
ofSandstorms Days and Nights in
Arabia8220Exruciatingly well observed and
devastatingly honest . . . This is the first and
only book about the Islamic State to expose,
explain, and ultimately undermine its ideology
with the relentless irony that comes from
blending deep knowledge with hands-on
experience. Wood makes it impossible not to
laugh, despite the horrors.82218212Elisabeth
Kendall, senior research fellow in Arabic and
Islamic studies, University of Oxford
