Description

The Pentagon's Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America's Top-Secret Military Research Agency This is the first-ever history of the Defense Department's most secret and powerful military science R&D agency. Annie Jacobsen draws on exclusive interviews, private documents, and declassified memos to paint a picture of DARPA, or "the Pentagon's brain," from its Cold War inception in 1958 to the present. The result is a compelling narrative about the clandestine intersection of science and the American military and the often frightening results. Jacobsen's book sheds light on the inner workings of DARPA, revealing the agency's most ambitious projects and the often fraught relationships between its scientists, policymakers, and military leaders. With unparalleled access to previously classified information, Jacobsen provides a unique insight into the world of DARPA and its impact on the course of modern history. A gripping and thought-provoking account, The Pentagon's Brain is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, technology, and national security.
