Overview of Drone Warrior: An Elite Soldier's Inside Account of the Hunt for America's Most Dangerous Enemies Book

For nearly a decade Brett Velicovich was at the centre of America s new warfare: using unmanned aerial vehicles drones to take down the world s deadliest terrorists across the globe. One of an elite handful in the entire military with the authority to select targets and issue death orders, he worked in concert with the full human and technological network of American intelligence assets analysts, spies, informants and the military s elite operatives, to stalk, capture and eliminate high value targets in al-Qaeda and ISIS. In this remarkable book, co-written with journalist Christopher S. Stewart, Velicovich offers unprecedented perspective on the remarkably complex nature of drone operations and the rigorous and wrenching decisions behind them. In intimate gripping detail, he shares insider, action-packed stories of the most coordinated, advanced and secret missions that neutralized terrorists, preserved the lives of US and international warriors across the globe and saved countless innocents in the hottest conflict zones today. Drone Warrior also chronicles the US military s evolution in the past decade and the technology driving it. Velicovich considers the future it foretells and speaks candidly on the physical and psychological toll it exacts, including the impact on his own life. He reminds us that while these machines can kill, they can also be used productively to improve and preserve life, including protecting endangered species, work he is engaged in today. Joining warfare classics such as American Sniper, Lone Survivor and No Easy Day, Drone Warrior is the definitive account of our nation s capacity and capability for war in the modern age.
