My friend and colleague Andrew Cockburn has a new book out. Kill Chain: The Rise of the High-Tech Assassins is more than the title, which I don't like, implies. Much more than just the next anti-drone book, Andrew performs brain surgery on the misguided notion that “critical nodes” in an enemy's infrastructure can be 1) identified and 2) systemically and precisely attacked to destroy the enemy's will and ability to wage war.
