Summary:Explores the intersection of psychology and terrorism via the authors' in-depth interviews with ISIS defectors. Two intrepid researchers set out to hunt down disenchanted ISIS cadres who dared to speak out and denounce the so-called Islamic State. The self-proclaimed Islamic State has dramatically changed the political, economic, and security landscape of the Middle East. Of the many ways to better understand and then combat the group, learning directly from defectors has high value and can provide information and insights unavailable from any other source. --Advance Praise for ISIS Defectors, preface to book.
