In The Believer, Will McCants tells the story of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State (a.k.a. ISIS), a group so brutal and hardline that even al-Qaida deemed them too extreme. Baghdadi, an introverted religious scholar, with a passion for soccer, now controls large swaths of land in Iraq and Syria. McCants shows how Baghdadi became radicalized in the Saddam Hussein era and found his path to power after connecting with other radicals in an American prison during the Iraq War, culminating in his declaration of a reborn Islamic empire bent on world conquest.

I ordered this book out of my curiosity of the most wanted and mysterious men in history who had the power to influence hundreds of thousands, if not millions of jihadists under his ruthless reign. His subtle upbringing and interest in religion had enabled him to eventually lead the world's most violent terrorists groups, which I found very interesting. The author left no stone unturned and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail and information that was produced.Product details

The Believer How an Introvert with a Passion for Religion and Soccer Became Abu Bakr alBaghdadi Leader of the Islamic State edition by William McCants Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
very informative. and very generous to get this for free. thanks. We need more truth about the enemy and this is compact and easy to read
Well written and concise biography of one of the pivotal figures in the world stage today. Simultaneously provides an excellent history and understanding of the creation and rise of the Islamic State. Must read for every American.
It's short but I learned a lot about al-Baghdadi that I didn't know before. And it was free! I plan to now buy McCants 'ISIS Apocalypse'.
A well-written piece on an important contemporary topic, and presented without an ounce of polemic or hyperbole. It is a refreshing change from the shallow presentation regurgitated by American politicians and media.
This 21 page booklet (to me) is similar to what one could call the "Abu Bakr al Baghdadi Cliff Notes." There are many ways to narrate of Baghdadi, but this version gives a very good, rounded rise within the ranks.
The dedication, not to mention evil within this man tells me he will be around for some time to come!
This was a very quick and to-the-point biography of Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. I found that the author mostly stayed objective on his radicalization and background, but I have it four stars for the times where that objectivity drifted from biography to personal political shadings. Overall, this was an excellent piece for me to catch up on the history of this man and his rise to power.
This is a good introduction to the leader of ISIS. It is written in conversational English. It will take you very little time to read. When you are finished you will have a grasp of who Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi is and how ISIS came to be. You will know the difference between Al qeada and ISIS and why it matters.
This is not a scholarly work. If you want a deep understanding of Islam or terrorism, this book will leave you hungry. There are better works to read on the subject. None, however, can educate as clearly and concisely as this one.
