Why would a “normal” American teen convert to Islam and then try to join a terrorist organization, and how do terrorists seduce women over the Internet and lure them into traveling thousands of miles to become their wives? These are the questions that internationally respected counter-terrorism expert and Georgetown University Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Security Studies asks in her book Bride of ISIS.
Based upon a composite of actual cases and inspired by the true story of Shannon Conley, an American teen from Denver, Colorado who converted to Islam, took the niqab, and who ultimately ended up in the clutches of ISIS, Bride of ISIS follows Sophie Lindsay—another “girl next-door” as she is seduced over the Internet.
Shannon Conley was arrested in 2014 while trying to board a flight to Turkey with the alleged goal of traveling to Syria to join and marry an ISIS extremist she had met online. Conley believed her Internet mentors that “defensive jihad” was not only permissible, but her duty. She told FBI agents that she believed U.S. military bases; government facilities and personnel; public officials and law enforcement were all legitimate terrorist targets. Trained as a nurse’s aide and in firearms, Conley hoped to either fight jihad in Syria and Iraq, or if prevented from entering a combat role, to assist jihadi fighters. Lured by a romance that she carried out via Skype with an ISIS fighter, Conley was on the road to destruction—until her father turned her in to the FBI.
Sophie Lindsay follows a similar path to Shannon Conley’s but in this book we get an inside look on how she enters the terrorist trajectory and moves steadily toward carrying out a terrorist act. Will FBI agent, Cathy Chambers and Homeland Security analyst, Ken Follett sort through all the “wannabe” ISIS and al Qaeda extremists on the Internet to discover who is the true terrorist? And will they be able to stop Sophie in time to save her and the lives of countless others?
Could you be living next door to a future bride of ISIS?

This book was actual a 3 1/2 star. Wasn't exactly sure where this was going, but had a good feeling where it would end. The factual material is very accurate and adds the depth to the story. In the same token, it became too predictable. There are things I've would have changed to give a false direction and to build up mystery. One such thing I would have added would be Sophia trying to recruit friends to go to Syria and become brides, and give some play to that. Even though I can see this happening, it would be a rare case I think...I hope. Definitely worth the time to explore.Product details

Bride of ISIS One Young Woman Path into Homegrown Terrorism edition by Anne Speckhard Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Scary topic! Well written and concise!
Redundant writing and not believable. Cliche ridden development of plot and characters. I was looking forward to insights and thought provoking substance - I was deeply disappointed.
I thought this was going to be a true story so I was disappointed toward figuring out it was not...
The book takes you into the scary world of something that is a reality. A must read!! It is extremely well written and keeps you glued to the pages. I totally loved it!!!
Great book!
With her expert grasp of the subject matter Ms. Speckhard takes us into a world that few of us understand, and sketches the reason why some young girls in developed countries go to foreign lands to become brides to ISIS fighters -- a very real scenario. It's a compelling read!
I had the honor of previewing this book prior to publication and I have to say that it is the best book I have read depicting how an individual can be radicalized into violent extremism. While the book is fictional, it provides the reader with a clear picture of how ISIS is penetrating the U.S. through social media and the Internet.
