Hassan Hassan is a senior fellow at the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, focusing on militant Islam, Syria, Iraq, and the Gulf region. He is the co-author of ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror, a New York Times and Washington Post bestseller, translated into more than a dozen foreign languages, and chosen as one of the Times of London’s Best Books of 2015 and The Wall Street Journal’s top 10 books on terrorism.
This paper examines ISIS’s actions, publications, and communications to determine its insurgency strategies and long-term organizational outlook, emphasizing sources that have been largely overlooked by forces fighting the group.
