'The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has been the subject of intense scrutiny. Seen by many to be the most dangerous terrorist organisation in the world, it has become shrouded in numerous myths and narratives. Against these myths, Mohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou presents a bold new theory of ISIS. By tracing its genealogy, he argues that ISIS has transcended Osama Bin Laden's original project of Al Qaeda, mutating into an unprecedented hybrid form that distills postcolonial violence, postmodernity and post-globalisation.'
