Reviews

'This is a timely, novel and significant contribution to the ongoing debates about 'precision strike warfare', drones, UAVs, Unmanned Weapons Systems and related issues. It will hopefully set a trend for bringing together different disciplines and perspectives - including from those on the receiving end of these technologies and those who do not yet possess them.' Medicine, Conflict and Survival
