Woodward Featured in New Book on Warfare
John D. Woodward Jr., Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston university, is featured in the newly released book
First Platoon is described as “an urgent investigation into warfare, good, and evil in the age of biometrics, the technology that would allow the government to identify anyone, anywhere, at any time.”
In the book, author Annie Jacobsen documents the implementation of biometric technologies by the United States Department of Defense (D0D) during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As part of her research, she interviewed Woodward on his service as the Director of the DoD Biometrics Management Office from 2003 to 2005.
