I really think the [2016 Presidential] candidates ought to read this.... You should buy this book.
RACHEL MADDOW, The Rachel Maddow Show, MSNBC
A comprehensive, authoritative, and detailed compendium on the Islamic State (ISIS).
Perspectives on Terrorism
In his detailed and informed study Nance argues that, in effect, America's War on Terror created a new breed of vicious terrorists who wear the mask of Islam like actors in a Kabuki theatre while carrying out horrifically un-Islamic acts.
RICHARD ENGEL, Chief Foreign Correspondent, NBC News, from his foreword
Malcolm Nance lays out a plan to take the war to ISIS while still denying the jihadists the mass battle they crave. Expect him to join the American crusaders featured in Dabiq soon!
DOUGLAS OLLIVANT, Senior National Security Studies Fellow at the New America Foundation
Praise for Malcolm Nance and his work:
I keep Malcolm's book at my bedside table.
RACHEL MADDOW, The Rachel Maddow Show, on MSNBC
A new and updated edition of Malcolm Nance's detailed and insightful book, The Terrorists of Iraq, Second Edition, is most welcome news . He knows the players, their vicious infighting, and their brutal methods like few others. To read his analysis is to understand the make-up and the real threat posed by these latest claimants to forming a Caliphate in these divided lands.
Peter Earnst, founding Executive Director of the International Spy Museum and a 35-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
If you took every member of United States Congress and House of Representatives and wrote their collected wisdom on Iraq, it's unlikely they could equal the astuteness of even a single chapter of author Malcolm W. Nance in The Terrorists of Iraq: Inside the Strategy and Tactics of the Iraq Insurgency 2003-2014. It's Nance's overwhelming real-world experiential knowledge of the subject, language, culture, tribal affiliations, and more which make this the overwhelming definitive book on the subject.
Book review by Ben Rothke, Information Security Professional, writing on Slashdot.org
The second edition of The Terrorists of Iraq comes at a critical time when the world is trying to understand ISIS, its origins, and its place among multiple actors in Iraq. This book is instantly the definitive source on ISIS and Nance demonstrations the often forgotten fact that ISIS has been there all along, evolving with the shifting dynamics in the theater of battle, within the insurgency and in the region. The Terrorists of Iraq remains an essential and well-researched guide for anyone interested in understanding or addressing this horrific period in global history.
Adam Hinds, former political advisor, United Nations Iraq
Mandatory reading for personal survival and national security?from the battlefields to the halls of Congress.
Jay R. Stanka, Managing Editor HUMANI Magazine and U.S. Army Special Forces veteran
[The Terrorists of Iraq] is easy to read, vivid, and offers enormous precious experience and empirical data which make it attractive to policy-makers, scholars, and students.
Behavioral Sciences of Terrorism and Political Aggression
[The Terrorist Recognition Handbook provides a comprehensive and detailed treatment of terrorism and counter-terrorism. Divided into six parts, the chapters cover topics such as understanding terrorism in all its manifestations, and the components of counter-terrorism.

The author is a consultant on counterterrorism and a retired military intelligence officer.
