I started writing books after a thirty year career in government writing bureaucratic papers. It was quite a shift. Cyber War is my fifth book and my third non-fiction.

A first-read win.There probably isn't anything new for anyone with an adequate knowledge of the internet in this detailed but overwrought book on the possibilities of cyberwar. Like his previous book, the most interesting information comes from his personal experiences in advising presidents on this...
Clarke is at it again, using the novel as a way to tell tales he probably couldn’t get away with in non-fiction. The focus here is on the nation’s communications apparatus. Some nation or group has set about bombing the cables that connect the USA com-network with Europe. Several communications sate...
