Ep. 49 – The American Citizens Who Went to Fight Against ISIS

Modern War Institute - A podcast by Modern War Institute at West Point

In this episode, we talk to Joseph Young and Jason Fritz of American University's School of Public Affairs about a phenomenon they've been studying: private Americans who traveled to the Middle East to fight ISIS. They interviewed many of these individuals, and they share what they learned about them and why they chose to go and fight in Iraq and Syria.
