Clarke sounds a timely and chilling warning about America’s vulnerability in a terrifying new international conflict—\u003cem\u003eCyber War\u003c\/em\u003e! Every concerned American should read this startling and explosive book that offers an insider’s view of White House ‘Situation Room’ operations and carries the reader to the frontlines of our cyber defense. \u003cem\u003eCyber War\u003c\/em\u003e exposes a virulent threat to our nation’s security. This is no \u003cem\u003eX-Files\u003c\/em\u003e fantasy or conspiracy theory madness—this is real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003eRichard A. Clarke warned America once before about the havoc terrorism would wreak on our national security -- and he was right. Now he warns us of another threat, silent but equally dangerous. \u003cem\u003eCyber War\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful book about technology, government, and military strategy; about criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers. This is the first book about the war of the future -- cyber war -- and a convincing argument that we may already be in peril of losing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCyber War\u003c\/em\u003e goes behind the \"geek talk\" of hackers and computer scientists to explain clearly and convincingly what cyber war is, how cyber weapons work, and how vulnerable we are as a nation and as individuals to the vast and looming web of cyber criminals. From the first cyber crisis meeting in the White House a decade ago to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley and the electrical tunnels under Manhattan, Clarke and coauthor Robert K. Knake trace the rise of the cyber age and profile the unlikely characters and places at the epicenter of the battlefield. They recount the foreign cyber spies who hacked into the office of the Secretary of Defense, the control systems for U.S. electric power grids, and the plans to protect America's latest fighter aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEconomically and militarily, Clarke and Knake argue, what we've already lost in the new millennium's cyber battles is tantamount to the Soviet and Chinese theft of our nuclear bomb secrets in the 1940s and 1950s. The possibilities of what we stand to lose in an all-out cyber war -- our individual and national security among them -- are just as chilling. Powerful and convincing, \u003cem\u003eCyber War\u003c\/em\u003e begins the critical debate about the next great threat to national security.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Clarke gives a valuable insight into the secret wars of the 1990s that erupted into the public view on Sept. 11, 2001, and to the attitudes that shape U.S. policy today. . . . Clarke traces the evolution of radical Islamic terrorist groups and the U.S. responses to them since the 1980s. The history is particularly fascinating in filling in details and background to larger public events throughout the 1990s, a string that almost amounts to a secret war against terror.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Post-Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“In this chilling and eye-opening book, Clarke and Knake provide a highly detailed yet accessible look at how cyber warfare is being waged and the need to rethink our national security to face this new threat.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[CYBER WAR] may be the most important book about national-security policy in the last several years.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Will strengthen Clarke’s claims as one of the founding fathers of cybersecurocracy....It is worth buying this book if only for his pithy five-page vision of this coming apocalypse and a return to stone-age conditions within a week, all because of a few pesky hackers and viruses.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Clarke and Knake are right to sound the alarm.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Chilling...
