P.W. SINGER LECTURING TO FARC MEMBERS NEAR SAN JOSE DEL GUAVIARE, COLOMBIA – 2009

Peter Warren Singer is the director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution.

Singer has provided commentary on military affairs for many of the major TV and radio outlet, including the NBC Today Show, CBS-60 Minutes, Fox, CNN, BBC, and Al Jazeera.

His latest book, Wired for War, examines how the US military has been working hard to get soldiers off the front lines and replacing humans with machines for bombing, flying and spying.

He is also a founder and organizer of the U.S.-Islamic World Forum, a global conference that brings together leaders from across the US and the Muslim world.

Singer continues to serve as a resource on the private military issue to the U.S. Congress, U.S. Department of Defense, the CIA, and the European Union.

He asks big questions: What will the rise of war machines mean to traditional notions of the battlefield, like honor?
