BOOK REVIEW: ‘United States of Jihad’

By Joshua Sinai

FILE - This undated file image made from a video released by Islamic State militants Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014, purports to show the killing of journalist James Foley by the militant group. In a softening of long-standing policy, the Obama administration will tell families of Americans held by terror groups that they can communicate with the captors and even pay ransom without fear of prosecution, part of a broad review of U.S. hostage policy that will be released June 24. Four Americans have been killed by the Islamic State since last summer: journalists Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller. After the release of gruesome videos showing the beheadings of some hostages, Obama approved an airstrike campaign against the Islamic State in both Iraq and Syria. (Militant website via AP, File)
