Drones are the iconic military technology of many of today's most
pressing conflicts. Drones have captured the public imagination,
partly because they project lethal force in a manner that challenges
accepted norms and moral understandings. Drone Wars presents a series
of essays by legal scholars, journalists, government officials,
military analysts, social scientists, and foreign policy experts. It
addresses drones' impact on the ground, how their use adheres to and
challenges the laws of war, their relationship to complex policy
challenges, and the ways they help us understand the future of war.
The book is a diverse and comprehensive interdisciplinary perspective
on drones that covers important debates on targeted killing and
civilian casualties, presents key data on drone deployment, and offers
new ideas on their historical development, significance, and impact on
law and policy.
