What's inside?

Recommendation
Since the shock of September 11, 2001, US officials have largely succeeded at protecting the country from another foreign attack, and now ISIS is on the run from its former strongholds in Iraq and Syria. Those victories are just part of the story, however. ISIS is poised to establish a virtual caliphate even as it loses its geographic territory, as Rand Corporation analyst Colin P. Clarke explains. What’s more, homegrown jihadists have managed to kill 95 people in the United States. This sobering but measured report lays out how the United States can better prepare for future terrorism.
