He saw at close range the battleground on which adversaries are attacking us: cyberspace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the rest of us, governments and corporations inhabit “glass houses,” all but transparent to a new generation of spies who operate remotely from such places as China, the Middle East, Russia, and even France. In this urgent wake-up call, Brenner draws on his extraordinary background to show what we can—and cannot—do to prevent cyber spies and hackers from compromising our security and stealing our latest technology.“A compelling, readable narrative…[\u003ci\u003eAmerica the Vulnerable\u003c\/i\u003e] should be required reading on Capitol Hill and in the West Wing.\" — \u003cb\u003eChristian Science Monitor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A public service announcement of the most urgent sort, this engrossing book reveals how our lack of cyber savvy, both as individuals and as a nation, is exposing us to extraordinary risks…thought-provoking reading from an expert witness.” — \u003cb\u003eDiscover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“If you have a responsibility for protecting intellectual property, trade secrets and other instruments of successful business; if you are responsible for protecting national information and technology interests then you have a responsibility to read this book.

Drawing on history, law, economics, common sense, and his rare experience in counterintelligence, Brenner deftly describes the problems and offers a series of very practical solutions.
