SSI Live 116 – Exterminating ISIS: A Memoir on Technology and Warfare
From January to August 2016, Army strategist and SSI National Security Researcher Major Brennan Deveraux (https://ssi.armywarcollege.edu/Who-We-Are/Faculty-Staff/Article/3901211/maj-brennan-deveraux/) served in Iraq in a strike cell as the theater-level rocket artillery liaison for Operation Inherent Resolve, firing over 500 rockets that killed hundreds of enemy fighters. His recently published memoir of that experience, Exterminating ISIS: Behind the Curtain of a Technological War, is a raw, unflinching examination of how the U.S. military leveraged its technological advantage to eliminate the ISIS threat… and the moral dilemmas that come with an unfair fight. Given the central roles that artillery and drones play on today’s battlefields in places like Ukraine, the publication of MAJ Deveraux’s book is particularly timely.
