One of the few Westerners to be given access to Isis strongholds claims he was confronted with an enemy the West cannot defeat, warning: “This is a one per cent movement with the power of a nuclear bomb or a tsunami.”

German author Juergen Todenhoefer says he documented the activities of Isis in Mosul, Iraq's second biggest city and one of the first to fall under the militant group’s rapid advance in a six-day trip.
