The National Interest: Is America on the ISIS Hit List?
"ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his organization are unusual among terrorists in their explicit articulation of their ambitions, their agenda, their priorities, and their strategy. Analyzing their actions, one finds a high level of alignment between what they say and what they do," Graham Allison '62 wrote on Sept. 30 for The National Interest.
Allison is Director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and Douglas Dillon Professor of Government at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
