Our  May Cover to Cover  hosts  Chris Woods , London-based investigative journalist and author of  Sudden Justice: America's Secret Drone Wars . The call will be held on  Wednesday, May 13, at 2:00 PM ET . WACA President Bill Clifford will moderate.

 


In  Sudden Justice, award-winning investigative journalist  Chris Woods explores the secretive history of the United States' use of armed drones and their key role not only on today's battlefields, but also in a covert targeted killing project that has led to the deaths of thousands. The ability to target its enemies from the safety of headquarters thousands of miles from the battlefield has profound implications for how America conducts its foreign policy, and for how it is seen in the world. As the first book to comprehensively assemble and analyze the facts about the U.S. drone program,  Sudden Justice is the essential guide for understanding its implications.  More Information

 

Chris Woods is an investigative journalist who specializes in conflict and national security issues. A former senior BBC Panorama producer, he has authored several investigations into covert U.S. drone strikes and their true effects. He was awarded the Martha Gellhorn Journalism Prize for his work, and lives in London.
