About this listen

Why did the last decade see a rise in violent extremism? How did ISIS manage to conquer a swath of territory in Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere? What are the similarities and differences between ISIS and other far-right extremist groups? Are there any active far-left militant groups?

This week, we're joined by Dr. Craig Whiteside and Jake Hanrahan (with a surprise appearance from Jake's dog). Dr. Whiteside is an associate professor national security affairs at Naval College Monterrey and co-author of The ISIS Reader https://www.amazon.com/ISIS-Reader-Milestone-Islamic-Movement/dp/0197501435. Jake Hanrahan is the creator of Popular Front https://www.popularfront.co/, an independent platform for conflict journalism, and host of the Q-Clearance podcast https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-q-clearance-the-hunt-for-72308028/.
