Product Information

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 BY FOREIGN AFFAIRS - "Worthy of Joseph Conrad . . . gripping, sobering and revelatory."--Tom Holland, New Statesman The 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 Wood's analysis of this phenomenon in The Atlantic "fascinating, terrifying, occasionally blackly humorous." In The Way of the Strangers , Wood uses character study, analysis, and original reporting to take us further into the Islamic State's apocalyptic 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 Strangers uncovers the theology and emotional appeal of this resilient group and explores its idiosyncratic, coherent approach to Islam. Just as Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower explained 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 Strangers " The Way of the Strangers represents journalism at its best: vivid writing, indefatigable legwork, and fearless analysis." --Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Return of Marco Polo's World "Wood 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 ('Well-behaved Salafis seldom make history')--you don't get through any two pages in his book without a good laugh." --Peter Theroux, author of Sandstorms: Days and Nights in Arabia "Excruciatingly 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." --Elisabeth Kendall, senior research fellow in Arabic and Islamic studies, University of Oxford

Advance praise for The Way of the Strangers "Indispensable and gripping . . . From Mosul to Melbourne, from Cairo to Tokyo, from London to Oslo, from Connecticut to California, Graeme Wood's quest to understand the Islamic State is a round-the-world journey to the end of the night. As individuals, the men he encounters are misfits, even losers. But their millenarian Islamist ideology makes them the most dangerous people on the planet." --Niall Ferguson, senior fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University, author of The War of the World "Over the course of its short life, the Islamic State has inspired millions, thousands of whom have rallied to its cause in search of a glorious death. But why? Are its devotees nothing more than sadists and two-bit mafiosi for whom religion is a fig leaf and who will fade away in the face of military defeat? In this essential book, Graeme Wood draws on more than a decade of reporting to demolish these and other comforting deceptions. The Islamic State's devotees are true believers indeed, and their nightmarish vision will haunt our world for decades to come, regardless of what happens on the battlefield." --Reihan Salam, executive editor, National Review "Graeme Wood is America's foremost interpreter of ISIS as a world-historical phenomenon. In The Way of the Strangers, he has given us the definitive work to date on the origins, plans, and meaning of the world's most dangerous terrorist organization. Wood is a fearless, relentlessly curious, and magnetically interesting writer who takes us on an intellectual and theological journey to the darkest places on the planet, yet he manages to do this without despairing for our collective future. This book is a triumph of journalism." --Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief, The Atlantic Praise for Graeme Wood's "What ISIS Really Wants"  "An intelligent and detailed account of the ideology that animates the Islamic State." --Fareed Zakaria, CNN, author of The Post-American World "One of the most important essays this year." --David Brooks, The New York Times , author of The Road to Character "Fascinating, terrifying, occasionally blackly humorous." --Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature "Mr. Wood's piece is bracing because it is fearless. . . . It is going to change the debate." --Peggy Noonan, The Wall Street Journal , author of What I Saw at the Revolution "A rare, genuine must-read . . . I felt challenged, even provoked, through it all." --Shadi Hamid, the Brookings Institution, author of Islamic Exceptionalism
