Publisher's summary

As cyber attacks dominate front-page news, as hackers join 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, an unknown past that shines an unsettling light on our future.

fascinating read!!

it's more exciting than fiction stories... now the war is near and we may not know it until it's over.

Dark Terrritory - Another Good Read by Kaplan

I enjoyed and agree with most of what Mr. Kaplan writes. This is a nice review of cyber operations at the national level. He concentrates on the history and policy that shape our current status. I recommend this book as a primer that explores the events and factors that shape our current cyber environment.

Excellent cybersecurity primer!

This book provides a great readable history of the increasingly important areas of cybersecurity and cyber warfare.

pro patriot act

a little too pro government and patriot act for my taste. told from a fed perspective

Great Cyber Insight

Great cyber insight. Scary explanation of the role our government has over the cyber world and the confusion that reigns in Washington on this very important topic.

A good, single sided view, of the history of hacking.

The listen is very good overall.
You must realize that this book tells the history from only one perspective... But still very good.

Interesting listen but what a bleak situation...

This is a very iInteresting listen but man what a bleak situation the future seems to be!
