First Platoon

First Platoon by Annie Jacobsen is a gripping narrative that intertwines the story of a U.S.

platoon in Afghanistan with the broader theme of biometric surveillance and its implications on society.

The book delves into the U.S.

military's efforts to build a comprehensive biometric database, raising questions about privacy and civil liberties.

Jacobsen's work is based on extensive research, including classified documents and interviews, offering a thought-provoking exploration of modern warfare and surveillance.
