RaveAir MailMike Giglio, now a national-security reporter for The Atlantic, beautifully unravels the rise and fall of the Islamic State in his book, Shatter the Nations ... Much has been written about ISIS, but what makes Shatter the Nations unique is Giglio’s expansive visual story line. He’s a skilled reporter, but where he shines is in his storytelling. Giglio constructs a narrative following a group of unlikely characters who came together to fight for and against ISIS, and his access is enviable. He is tenacious and persistent as he moves through dangerous territory; his network would leave an intelligence officer envious (and probably did), and his information is chilling.
