The Drone Memos: Targeted Killing, Secrecy, And The Law

The Drone Memos is a critical examination of the U.S. government’s practice of extrajudicial drone strikes, particularly during the Obama administration. Edited by human rights lawyer Jameel Jaffer, the book compiles key legal documents?including the Presidential Policy Guidance and Justice Department memos?that underpin the targeted killing program. These documents were made public following legal battles led by the ACLU and The New York Times.
