Summary/Abstract |
It has been over a year since the last vestige of Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham’s (ISIS) caliphate project in the town of Baghuz was captured by American-backed Syrian-Kurdish paramilitary forces. 1 A culmination of four years of bloody warfare between an international coalition of sixty plus nations and ISIS’s global terror network whose size and endurance proved difficult to overcome. Despite the death of some tens of thousands of its fighters and the loss of its transnational state, ISIS remains a potent insurgent-terror movement.
