Throughout history society has determined specific rules of engagement between adversaries in armed conflict. With advances in technology, from armor to in the Middle Ages to nerve gas in World War I to weapons of mass destruction in our own time, the rules have constantly evolved. Today, when killing the enemy can seem palpably risk-free and tantamount to playing a violent video game, what constitutes warfare? What is the effect of remote combat on individual soldiers? And what are the unforeseen repercussions that could affect us all?

On Killing Remotely is the perfect book for anyone looking to get into the mind of an RPA warrior. The book does an excellent job of recapping the development and current state of RPA systems, then deep dives into the stresses that the operators are placed under. The book's four sections help structure the difficult conversation that is killing remotely.
Having recently reread Dave Grossman's "On Killing,"; this book takes the next step by discussing the emotional and physical stress amplified by today's remote technologies. I would highly recommend this book to family and friends of anyone associated with unmanned systems. Even if not associated with RPAs, this is still an eye-opener for all of humanity.
