PositiveForbesAndy Greenberg’s Sandworm has achieved what I thought was no longer possible: it scares me. Sandworm is the story of the Russian GRU hacking team that has evolved in a few short years into the most methodical, persistent, and destructive intelligence agency cyber warriors. After reading Sandworm you will not doubt those superlatives ... In addition to taking us on a journey of understanding of the events around multiple attacks by Sandworm, Greenberg takes a stab at answering these bigger questions. What motivates the Sandworm hackers? Why is the response from those in charge of protecting critical infrastructure so tepid? What lessons have we learned? Greenberg’s Sandworm has earned a position beside Cliff Stoll’s Cuckoo’s Egg, and Kim Zetter’s Count Down to Zero Day, both in university curricula and your bookshelf.

RaveForbesCyberwar is proving to be a fertile topic for journalists, researchers, and academics to write books about. I try to read them all. LikeWar is among the best, and it is the first to meld the fields of strategic studies, the history of warfare, and the rising tide of online conflict ... LikeWar applies a historical perspective to an emerging threat ... armed with this book we are able to fit new information into what is now a consistent framework. While students of history, strategic studies, political science, and international relations will all find LikeWar on their required reading list, anyone else who wishes to understand the world we live in must add LikeWar to the top of the pile on their nightstand.
