Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The executioner is clad in all black, face covered by a balaclava. He stands behind the condemned, right hand gripping his shoulder, left fist clutching a long steel-bladed knife. Both men know that a video crew is recording every word and movement. #2 The footage, taken on a hill outside what might be the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, will be downloaded and edited with other images and sounds, then packaged in a four-minute-and-forty-second video. It will be shown worldwide on YouTube. #3 The execution of James Foley by ISIS was captured on video and posted on the internet, where it was watched by millions. The group claimed responsibility for the murder, and many more would die under that belief.
