"The Assassination Complex" Review

A fascinating and insightful collection of articles and original reporting from The Intercept on the (primarily) Obama administration's drone war on Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, and so on.

Due to the nature of this collection, there is quite a bit of repetition of terms and information.

The book is well-designed with a striking color-and-design scheme. Also included are numerous visual slides that provide extra information and context. I appreciated the glossary, as there are a number of military-specific terminology.
