"A must-read if you want to understand the new way of waging war." - General Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA and CIA of the United States. For almost a decade, Brett Velikovich was at the center of American next-generation military technology, using drones to eliminate the most dangerous terrorists worldwide. Velikovich was one of the few who had the authority to choose targets and give orders to kill. These memoirs contain unique and previously classified information about the most complex and secret missions in which Velikovich hunted his targets in the hottest conflict zones, protecting the lives of military personnel and civilians. He details the search and elimination of 16 out of the 20 most wanted global terrorists. The author also tells a heart-wrenching story of using drones to rescue a missing Iraqi woman and a group of schoolgirls kidnapped by the Nigerian Boko Haram. Velikovich offers a unique perspective on the remarkably complex nature of drone operations, the tactical and technical solutions underlying them.
