PETER BERGEN is a journalist, documentary producer, and the author of four books about al-Qaeda, three of which were New York Times best sellers. Bergen is the co-editor of Drone Wars: Transforming Conflict, Law, and Policy, a series of essays by legal scholars, journalists, government officials, military analysts, social scientists, and foreign policy experts. The book addresses drones’ impact on the ground, how their use adheres to and challenges the laws of war, their relationship to complex policy challenges, and the ways they help us understand the future of war. Bergen serves as the director of the national security program at the New America Foundation in Washington, D.C., and as CNN’s national security analyst. A book signing will follow his Forum.
