Description

Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control explores the rise of robot warfare and its global implications. Since 2000, the number of aerial drones used in conflict has grown dramatically, with the US Air Force now training more drone "pilots" than bomber and fighter pilots combined. The human cost of this technology is stark, with thousands of civilians killed in drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen alone. CODEPINK and Global Exchange co-founder Medea Benjamin examines who produces these drones, where they are used, and the legal and moral implications of their use. She also looks at the efforts of activists, lawyers, and scientists working to ground these weapons. Benjamin argues that the assassinations carried out from the air will have consequences for those who carry them out, and she calls on readers to consider the broader implications of this technology.
