As cyber-attacks dominate front-page news, as hackers join
terrorists on the list of global threats, and as top
generals warn of a coming cyber war, few books are more
timely and enlightening than Dark Territory: The Secret
History of Cyber War, by Slate columnist and Pulitzer
Prize–winning journalist Fred Kaplan.
Kaplan probes the inner corridors of the National Security
Agency, the beyond-top-secret cyber units in the Pentagon,
the "information warfare" squads of the military services,
and the national security debates in the White House, to
tell this never-before-told story of the officers,
policymakers, scientists, and spies who devised this new
form of warfare and who have been planning—and (more often
than people know) fighting—these wars for decades.
From the 1991 Gulf War to conflicts in Haiti, Serbia, Syria,
the former Soviet republics, Iraq, and Iran, where cyber
warfare played a significant role, Dark Territory
chronicles, in fascinating detail, a little-known past that
shines an unsettling light on our future.
