Description
"In 2011, Nasser al-Awlaki, a terrorist on the U.S. 'kill list' in Yemen, was targeted by the CIA. One week later, a military strike killed his son. The following year, the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan resigned, concluding he was undermined by CIA-conducted drone strikes of which he had no knowledge or control. The demands of the new, borderless 'gray area' conflict have cast civilians and military into unaccustomed roles with inadequate legal underpinning. As the civilian Department of Homeland Security defends the United States against increasing cyber threats and armies of civilian contractors work in paramilitary roles in conflict areas, appropriate roles in wartime and legal boundaries of war demand clarification. In this book, former Under Secretary of the U.S. Air Force Antonia Chayes examines gray areas in counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, and cyber warfare. Her innovative solutions for role definition and transparency offer new approaches to a rapidly evolving civil-military-legal environment"--Page i.
