- This 352-page monograph (c. 125,000 words) is the product of five years of research. It traces America’s use of armed drones through six presidencies, utilising traditional sources from presidential libraries and the CIA’s archives, supplemented by material obtained through FOIs, mandatory declassification reviews, and leaked documents to expose details which remain officially classified. This chronological breadth and fresh take on source acquisition enabled the project to track the development of an aggressive counterterrorism policy based upon targeted killing from administration to administration, revealing incremental evolution and continuity as opposed to the orthodox narrative of a decisive break in approach post-9/11.
