Announcing "Context and Consequences of the Soleimani Strike," a New Lawfare E-book

A new Lawfare Institute e-book, "Context and Consequences of the Soleimani Strike: A Lawfare Compilation," is now available on Kindle.

Did the recent airstrike that killed Qassem Soleimani adhere to domestic and international law? How might Iran retaliate against the strike? Featuring chapters originally published as articles on Lawfare, “Context and Consequences of the Soleimani Strike: A Lawfare Compilation” compiles analysis regarding the drone strike on January 3, 2020, that killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani. The compilation seeks to contextualize the drone strikes and to examine the fallout of Soleimani’s killing—in the United States, in Iran and beyond.

The e-book allows full-text searching across the articles and is available here.
