Cyber War: The Next Threat to National Security

Description

PAPERBACK EDITION

The Next Threat to National Security and What to Do About It

Author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Against All Enemies, former presidential advisor and counter-terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke sounds a timely and chilling warning about America’s vulnerability in a terrifying new international conflict – Cyber War! 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. Cyber War exposes a virulent threat to our nation’s security. This is no X-Files fantasy or conspiracy theory madness – this is real.

Richard 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. Cyber War is a powerful book about technology, government, and military strategy; about criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers. It explains 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. 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.
