EN: Based on extensive field work, this book analyzes how ISIS - a widely hated, massively outnumbered, and ludicrously outgunned organization – managed to occupy over 120 cities, towns, and villages from the Southern Philippines to Western Libya.

The author explains how their capacity to mix conventional military tactics with innovative guerrilla warfare and urban terrorism strategies allowed ISIS to expand and endure beyond expectations. This Ukrainian translation is supplemented by a special introduction on Russia’s war against Ukraine and the ISIS tactics adoption by Russian troops (2014-2022).UA: Ґрунтуючись на значній кількості польових досліджень, автор аналізує, як ІДІЛ, така ненависна, нечисельна та погано озброєна організація, змогла окупувати понад 120 міст, містечок і сіл від південних Філіппін до західної Лівії.
