**********THIS IS A GOODREADS.COM CONTEST WIN!!!!!***********This was an interesting book. I learned a lot about a computer that I did not know. I do not know how much of the information that the author use was real/accurate. But it was still an interesting real. Some of the terms/jargon used ma...
A readable/reasonably entertaining overview of the "Cabal," a group which coalesced in response to the Conficker worm & botnet threat. Bowden organizes history and the sometimes jargon-addled world of digital history clearly. I knew just a little of this, and so--like other great longform journali...
The subject matter was very interesting, but the author's writing style was odd and sometimes confusing.The story details the arrests and eventual killing of Pablo Escobar. The majority of the story deals with a relatively short time period, so if you're looking for a detailed history or life story...

It tells the tale of the rise and fall of, arguably, the greatest gangster (outside of government) of the 20th century. It is fast-paced, grippi...
I am unclear as to whether or not I love this book because in the first 4 stories they mention the U of C in two of them, but I do think it is an amazing book and recommend it to everybody. And I don't even usually like non-fiction.
This is one of the best combat descriptions I have ever come across. It rings true and really honors these brave soldiers, trying to do the right thing. Shows how our ROE and basic American nature can be used against us by another culture with no qualms about using women and children as combatants.
