- Summary:
- "This book depicts how Donald Trump has upended assumptions about America's outward commitment to the law of war, exposing the conditions that make such defiance possible. Drawing on case studies and original survey analysis, Thomas Gift explains how Trump has relied on right-wing media and allies in Congress to attack the law of war - not in the shadows, but in broad daylight. Killing Machines cautions that Trump's approach is not an aberration - it's a playbook other leaders could follow"-- Provided by the publisher.
