<p>Nicolas Hénin is an independent French reporter and the author of a new book in French, "Jihad Academy", in which he traces the rise of Islamic extremism in Iraq and Syria. Hénin draws largely on the ten months he spent as a hostage of the Islamic State group in Syria. The book is an indictment of the West's approach to fighting extremists, which he says is a litany of errors.</p><br /><br />Visit our website:<br />http://www.france24.com<br /><br />Like us on Facebook:<br />https://www.facebook.com/FRANCE24.English<br /><br />Follow us on Twitter:<br />https://twitter.com/France24_en
