Its sadistic disregard for human life, sophisticated use of social media, acquisition of territory, and ability to attract foreign fighters is unprecedented. Stern and Berger analyze the tools ISIS uses both to frighten innocent citizens and lure new soldiers, and offer practical ideas on potential government responses.  a2  atext  aunmediated  avolume  2lcccBKajpascuab2019-06-17 08:31:21djderpoe2022-03-24 10:32:43  a11160  c11070d11070  00102ddc4070aBEDbBEDcBEDd2025-12-21oNULLpHS1628r2026-06-18 00:00:00w2025-12-21yBK
