My latest book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS, continues to turn heads among the cognoscenti, and is today designated the #1 New Best Seller in the History of Islam.
It is available at any self-respecting bookstore, as well as at Amazon.com in paperback (order here) and on Kindle (order here).
Here are the details and some advance reviews:
ISIS Wants Your Head
It’s the world’s most spectacularly successful terrorist group—and the most mysterious. ISIS rocketed onto the world stage seemingly out of nowhere, beheading American hostages, bulldozing international borders, routing the American-trained Iraqi Army, carving out a new state that rules eight million people and a territory larger than the United Kingdom, perpetrating genocide, reviving slavery, pulverizing ancient monuments, and persuading its followers to carry out terror attacks in New York and Texas. But who are they? Where did ISIS come from, and how did they rise to power in so little time? What is driving them—and how can they be stopped?
Now New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer reveals the blood-drenched history and inner workings of the Islamic State—its military conquests, how it is financing its expansion, the significance of the newly declared caliphate and its long roots in Muslim history, and the ideology that is driving its success. As Spencer reveals, the Islamic State has taken the first steps on the path to becoming a world power—steps that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda dreamed of but were afraid to take. The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS is your one-stop easy reference for all you need to know about ISIS—and how to stop its reign of terror.
ROBERT SPENCER is the director of Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and the author of fourteen books on Islam and jihad. Spencer has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, United States Central Command, and other intelligence and military groups.
“As always, Robert Spencer is scholarly, thorough, fearless, and insistent in making sure we know the Islamic State. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.”
—ANDREW C. McCARTHY, contributing editor of National Review and New York Times bestselling author of The Grand Jihad, Willful Blindness, and Islam and Free Speech“Contains everything the people of the free world need to know about the foremost threat to freedom, and to every free person. This book shows how ISIS plans to sow murder and mayhem—and above all, how it can and must be stopped.”
—GEERT WILDERS, member of parliament in the Netherlands and leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV)“ISIS is here. If sanity still prevailed in our government and media, this book would be required reading for all elected officials and journalists.”
—PAMELA GELLER, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative

Angemon says
Again, congratulations, Mr. Spencer!
Cecilia Ellis says
A well-deserved congratulations! Maybe politicians, media elites, and academia now will take notice of your unsurpassed expertise, read any one of your books, and heed your warning. Your message is definitely reaching the people. Keep ’em coming!
Shane says
Hope he sends a copy to all the Presidential candidates as most Western leaders no very little about Islam’s violent history and teachings.
Cecilia Ellis says
Shane, I initially had those exact thoughts . . . then I remembered, “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink” . . .
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Haha, Robert, you could teach Donald Trump (author of “Mein Trumpf”) a thing or two about how to promote a book. Your book is not just the top seller in the book classification category “History of Islam”, but in the entire history of Islam — the best-selling book since Jibril paid a visit to Rasul.
mortimer says
Mr. Spencer, Congratulations on this amazing success.
TRANSLATION of this book into Arabic, Urdu and Indonesian will revolutionize the Muslim world and must now be a PRIORITY.
A competent translator CAN be found. He/she will be someone similar to Robert Spencer, having a STRONG background in political studies, in religious studies and in historical studies. In addition, the person will have a BA or MA in translation and membership in a translator’s association.
dumbledoresarmy says
Forget about Arabic, Urdu and Indonesian..
What’s needed much more than that are the French, Portuguese, Spanish, Hindi (plus a few other major regional languages of India), Russian and Chinese translation. And “The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Quran” needs to be in all those languages, too.
And Swahili, and a number of other African languages; say, about six other languages spoken in key majority-Christian African countries (e.g. Amharic, for Ethiopia).
Matthieu Baudin says
Molto Bravo Mr Spencer and to all who purchase and read the book.
epistemology says
Congrats! That’s great news. Wish you all the best dear Robert, may this book be an eye-opener for all these ignorant do-gooders who still purport that “Islam is the religion of peace”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS, continues to turn heads among the cognoscenti…
And it is precisely them who need to be sold. But, for example, do Bill O’Reilly’s ghostwriters read books? Probably they just play video games.
The news entertainers are so wrong, dangerously so, on the facts of Islam that they must be outed. Publishing a fine book on the subject cannot do that. Glenn Beck made some noise, and soon after he was no longer on Fox RINO. The only way to out these idiots as dangerous babble speakers is to have one of our own in the studio with them. But it is “We decide, you comport” over on the Fox RINO channels.
We need a free competitive press, but that ain’t on the horizon. Just a couple of fake opposition channels and nothing more. In a way the fake channels are most damaging, cuz they imply to the masses that both sides are being told, and this is not so.

Now we’re talkin’! Congrats, Robert!
Walter Sieruk says
The idea is of enough value that it’s worth reiterating. Which is the way to defeat the cruel, vicious and murderous fiends who compose the compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS is by the use of many very strong powers of military might. As Thomas Jefferson had so well stated “With every barbarous people…force is law.”
Walter Sieruk says
The heinous fiends who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS with the wicked and insane mindset may be describe in the Bible. Which reads “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live and afterwards they join the dead.” Ecclesiastes 9:3.[N.I.V.] This describes the ISIS savages. For ISIS villains are evil. This they the callous characters of ISIS have proven,, ,many times over, by the cruel, vicious and murderous actions. The thugs of ISIS are also mad . This is because they the the absurd , irrational delusion of an Islamic daydream of establishing and caliphate and then uses it as a base to conquer the whole world for Islam What violent and deluded fools the ISIS Muslims are. For they are investing all their energy ,effort time and lives for a false cause based on a false religion.
Jay Boo says
I have a long commute
I wonder if any of Roberts books are available in audio format.
I would guess that the content and detail are not easily transitioned into audio.
Brigitte Gabriel’s “They Must Be Stopped” was an easy listen.
Cecilia Ellis says
Jayboo, you might just be in luck. Check the following link, because it appears that some of Robert’s books are available in audio format:

Hope this helps. Have a safe trip!
Jay Boo says
Thank you, Cecilia
Sorry for the delay in reply.
You are correct. That is very good news.
The last time I check Amazon I must have focused on the bold headings and overlooked the smaller print.
Cecilia Ellis says
Jayboo, you are most welcome! Hopefully now you can enjoy those long commutes. Enjoy the ride!
