Summary:  "Follows Barack Obama's campaign of targeted killing of terrorists. How the president directed his spy agencies to hunt Anwar Al-Awlaki down in a frantic, multi-million-dollar pursuit that would end with the death of the terrorist imam by a bizarre, robotic technology that is changing warfare - the drone. New York Times journalist Scott Shane weaves the clash between president and terrorist into a riveting narrative account of the defining conflict of our era. Awlaki, who taunted the president from his desert hideouts, was the first United States citizen assassinated by his own government without trial. But his eloquent calls to jihad, amplified by YouTube, continue to lure young Westerners into terrorism - resulting in tragedies from the Boston marathon bombing to the murder of cartoonists at a Paris weekly."--Provided by publisher.
