Daniel Klaidman, journalist and author, will deliver an inside look at the early years of the Obama administration.

Klaidman is author of “Kill or Capture: The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama Administration,” a landmark publication that shaped much of the popular understanding of the targeted killing campaign. The book features extensive interviews with high-ranking administration officials that reveal the internal battle over the use of drones.
Klaidman is a special correspondent for Newsweek and writes for The Daily Beast. He is formerly the managing editor for Newsweek and led the magazine during it’s award-winning coverage of theSeptember 11 attacks and aftermath.
