Andrew Cockburn - Kill Chain: The Rise of the High-Tech Assassins
Not just another weapon, the drone has radically transformed military strategy.

As he follows the early technology from its initial uses in Vietnam and its more sophisticated application by the Bush and Obama administrations, he shows how the weaponry has driven a single-minded focus on “high value targets.” (Holt)
