This book will be welcomed by all those who have struggled to get the measure of the 'cyber-war' threat. As Thomas Rid takes on the digital doomsters he also provides a comprehensive, authoritative and sophisticated analysis of the strategic quandaries created by the new technologies. (Sir Lawrence Freedman, Professor of War Studies, King's College London)

Rid’s work is undoubtedly impressive, relying on a wealth of diverse sources to provide little-known, tantalising details of known “cyber security incidents” […]. (Julia Muravska, London School of Economics and Political Science)
