About this ebook
This NoNonsense book aims to answer the questions that people are asking without jargon and in an easy-to-use FAQ format. It places ISIS in the broader context of US-led war on terror’ from the Bush-Blair invasion of Iraq right through to Obama’s drone attacks and makes a strong case for responses that build peace and justice rather than fueling violence.
