How did ISIS ??? a widely hated, massively outnumbered and ludicrously outgunned organisation ??? manage to occupy over 120 cities, towns and villages from the Southern Philippines to Western Libya?

He shows how their capacity to mix conventional military tactics with innovative guerrilla warfare and urban terrorism strategies allowed ISIS to expand and endure beyond expectations.
