You may have a lot of questions on your mind about the group Islamic State. What are their greatest strengths? Would western boots on the ground help or hinder the fight against the group? Will we still be talking about them in ten years?

These are just a few of the questions we put to three experts who have written about the group. Emma Sky is the author of The Unraveling: High Hopes and Missed Opportunities in Iraq. Andrew Hosken is from Radio 4's The World Tonight and wrote: Empire of Fear: Inside the Islamic State. Charles Glass wrote Syria Burning: ISIS and the Death of Arab Spring.
