In the summer of 2014 Jürgen Todenhöfer spent several months talking to German Islamists (via Skype) that have been connected with the ‘IS’. What he found out during these discussions is more than frightening and reveals the murderous intent of the so-called Caliphate, which seeks to establish a global theocracy and does not abstain from mass murder, even among Muslims. Following the expansion of their state in the Middle East, and after the subjugation of the neighboring countries, what they have in sight is Europe and the West.

In November 2014 Jürgen Todenhöfer became the world's only Western journalist who entered the center of the ‘IS’, Mosul, where he remained for ten days which resulted in further interviews. Ten Days in the ‘Islamic State’ is the first Croatian edition of a book that vividly describes Todenhöfer's experiences on the spot. His dramatic report from the ‘reign of terror’ is a loud warning that the political solution to a cycle of violence and an effective strategy for fighting terrorism is of vital importance.
