The book begins with a discussion of targeted killing of noncombatants, followed by discussions of legalities, the rationale of self-defense, how targets should be chosen, and when and whether the ends can be used to justify the means. Several contributors defend targeting noncombatants, while Jeremy Waldron breaks down the morality associated with the tactic, and argues against its usage. Philosophy professor Jeff McMahan of Rutgers University points out the problematic nature of targeted killing and emphasises regulations for law enforcement in order to avoid abuse of process. Mississippi College School of Law professor Richard V. Meyer argues that any entity wishing to carry out targeted killing should first have to declare war on the targeted parties involved.

| - The book begins with a discussion of targeted killing of noncombatants, followed by discussions of legalities, the rationale of self-defense, how targets should be chosen, and when and whether the ends can be used to justify the means. Several contributors defend targeting noncombatants, while Jeremy Waldron breaks down the morality associated with the tactic, and argues against its usage. Philosophy professor Jeff McMahan of Rutgers University points out the problematic nature of targeted killing and emphasises regulations for law enforcement in order to avoid abuse of process. Mississippi College School of Law professor Richard V. Meyer argues that any entity wishing to carry out targeted killing should first have to declare war on the targeted parties involved. Ave Maria School of Law associate professor Kevin H. Govern breaks down the elimination of Osama Bin Laden, and identifies this particular killing as justified and borne out of a rationale decision process. In the final portion of the book, Florida State University Tobias Simon Eminent Scholar Fernando Tesón argues that targeted killing is particularly justified against terrorists, because they use tactics specifically designed to kill civilians. The book was well received in law reviews and by academics across multiple disciplines. Both Robin Geiß, and Steven J. Barela praised its coverage of the legal, moral, political, and strategic aspects of targeted killings. Steven R. Ratner welcomed its addition to the academic literature and Madeline E. Cohen wrote that it would be a useful research reference." Abraham David Sofaer praised its useful treatment of the subject and its useful tables, and argued the book could have given more weight to the law enforcement model of how and when to use deadly force against individuals.
