Have you ever wondered why seemingly successful wars never seem to end?
Author and intelligence expert William M. Arkin tries to answer the question of unending wars in his new book Unmanned: Drones, Data, and the Illusion of Perfect Warfare (Little, Brown and Company/ 2015). Arkin argues the digital revolution’s creation of drones and a reluctance to put boots on the ground yields seemingly endless warfare.
Host Frank Stasio talks with Arkin about the history of drones, how they are used in warfare and the cost to society.
