In this shocking expose of the US government's drone programme,
bestselling author Jeremy Scahill and his colleagues at the
investigative website The Intercept expose stunning new details
about the secret assassination policy being carried out by America
and her allies. When the US government discusses drone strikes
publicly, it offers assurances that such operations are a more
precise alternative to troops on the ground and are authorised only
when an "imminent" threat is present and there is "near certainty"
that the intended target will be killed. The implicit message on
drone strikes from the Obama administration has been trust, but
don't verify. The online magazine The Intercept exploded this
secrecy when it obtained an extraordinary cache of secret
documents, the most shocking of which are included in this book,
that reveal how Washington's fourteen-year targeted killing
campaign suffers from an overreliance on flawed intelligence, an
apparently incalculable civilian toll, and an inability to extract
potentially valuable intelligence from terror suspects. The
Assassination Complex is a vital, urgent book which allows us to
understand at last the circumstances under which the US government
and her allies have granted themselves the right to sentence
individuals to death without the established checks and balances of
arrest, trial, and appeal.
