Description
Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War by Fred Kaplan is an unsettling and gripping history that reveals the details of the officers, policymakers, scientists, and spies who devised this new form of warfare. In June 1983, President Reagan's encounter with the movie War Games sparked a chain of events that led to the first presidential directive on computer security. The book chronicles the development of cyber warfare from the 1991 Gulf War to conflicts in various countries, including Haiti, Serbia, Syria, and Iran. Kaplan probes the inner workings of the National Security Agency, the Pentagon's cyber units, and the White House to shed light on the national security debates that shaped this new form of warfare. Dark Territory is a pacey read that consistently surprises, offering an eye-opening history of our government's efforts to manage national security in the face of the global communications network.
