Four years ago, Azmat Khan, an investigative reporter for The Times Magazine, told us the story of Basim Razzo (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/17/podcasts/the-daily/airstrikes-isis-iraq-civilians.html), whose entire family was killed in a U.S.-led airstrike in Iraq. His story helped reveal how American air wars were resulting in a staggering number of civilian deaths.
Analyzing thousands of pages of U.S. military reports and investigating in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, Azmat was able to gain a better understanding of why this was happening.

Background reading:
The promise was a war waged by all-seeing drones and precision bombs. But Pentagon documents show flawed intelligence, faulty targeting, years of civilian deaths (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/18/us/airstrikes-pentagon-records-civilian-deaths.html) — and scant accountability.
A trove of internal documents, combined with extensive reporting across the Middle East, reveals the tragic, disastrous failures (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/19/magazine/victims-airstrikes-middle-east-civilians.html) of the U.S. military’s long-distance approach to warfare.
