"There are still many people who think that the whole concept of cyberwar is overhyped. This book is an excellent counter to that: it shows that cyberwar has the ability to disrupt our lives and our economy, and that it is being fought right now."--Network Security Newsletter, October 2013 ".I think it is a good start point for people to use this in their syllabus for teaching IW/CW today.We need a more informed populace as well as government and I think this book would be a good start."--Krypt3ia blog, August 30, 2013 "This book will give you a good base on the topic of cyber warfare and its different aspects. The military-style approach to the subject turned out to be perfect - the book is a balanced blend of history and technical details that makes it very easy to read."--HelpNetSecurity.org, July 24, 2013 "For Soldiers and leaders engaging in the ongoing battles of cyberspace, this book will be indispensable."--Lieutenant General (ret.) Charles P. Otstott "The most thorough study to date of the many facets of cyber-warfare - for scholars and practitioners alike."--Gerardo I. Simari, Senior Researcher, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Oxford
