Kill or Capture

In his new book, Kill or Capture, the journalist Daniel Klaidman takes a behind the scenes look at the Obama administration’s shadow war on terror. Klaidman conducted hundreds of interviews with White House staff in an effort to document how President Obama’s inner circle has wrestled with life or death decisions and debated the price of liberty and national security. Klaidman joins us on Monday to talk about his book and examine Obama’s profound personal transformation into a decisive and lethal commander-in-chief.
