Specificatii
Less than a month after the September 11th attacks, a tiny, CIA-
controlled Predator drone flew over Kandahar, searching out the
home of the Taliban supreme commander Mullah Mohammed Omar. A lack
of understanding of the drone's capabilities combined with a messy
chain of command allowed Omar to escape, but the strike on a nearby
convoy vehicle became the Predator's first lethal action. Since
then, the use of armed drones has become the dominant American way
of war. In Sudden Justice, award-winning investigative journalist
Chris Woods explores the secretive history of the United States'
use of armed drones and their key role not only on today's
battlefields, but also in a covert targeted killing project that
has led to the deaths of thousands. The CIA nurtured and developed
drones before the War on Terror ever began, seeking a platform from
which it could monitor its targets and act lethally and instantly
on the intelligence it gathered. Since then, remotely piloted
aircraft have played a critical role in America's global
counter-terrorism operations and have been deployed to devastating
effect in conventional wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. Drone
crews, analysts, intelligence officials and military commanders all
speak frankly to the author about how armed drones revolutionized
warfare--and the unexpected costs to some of those involved. But
there is another, secret war--one in which drones scour the skies
of Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia in search of militant and terrorist
targets. The American government insists that this hidden war is
legal. The CIA even claims that its armed drones are the most
precise weapon ever invented, so perfect that civilians are no
longer killed. Sudden Justice describes the reality of this secret
drone war, one in which hundreds of civilians have died, and the
wider strategic interests of the United States may have been
jeopardized. The ability to target its enemies from the safety of
headquarters
