Review:
A book that grips, informs and alarms, finely researched and lucidly related. --John le Carre"
"Dark Territory" is a remarkable piece of reporting. Fred Kaplan has illuminated not merely the profound vulnerabilities of our nation to cyber warfare, but why it has taken so long for our policy-makers to translate indifference into concern and concern into action. This is a vitally important book by a meticulous journalist. --Ted Koppel, author of Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath"
A fascinating account of the people and organizations leading the way towards a cyber war future. --Dorothy E. Denning, author of Information Warfare and Security, 1st Inductee, National Cyber Security Hall of Fame"
Praise for Daydream Believers: "
The inside history of our time, told with precision and confidence, by an author who knows where the secrets are kept. --Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco"
Fred Kaplan has long been one of our most incisive thinkers about strategic issues. In this provocative book, he challenges many of our assumptions about the post-9/11 world and offers a dose of realism about the way the world actually works after the end of the Cold War. It s a bracing read. --Walter Isaacson"
Praise for The Wizards of Armageddon: "
[The] definitive intellectual history of early nuclear deterrence. --Steve Coll, author of Ghost Wars"
Kaplan dives into a topic which could end up being just as transformational to national security affairs as the nuclear age was. The book opens fast and builds from there, providing insights from research that even professionals directly involved in cyber operations will not have gleaned. . . . You will love this book. --Bob Gourley "CTOvision.com ""
Chilling . . . Kaplan is one of America s leading writers on national security, and his accounts of cyberattacks are gripping . . . assiduously researched. --Edward Lucas "The Times (London) ""
