Review by Library Journal Review

Two-time Sony Award--winning journalist Potter spent 20 years putting together this history of cyberwarfare, which he tracks to the West's abandonment of Eastern European hackers as the Cold War shut down. From the FBI's pursuit of cyber mercenaries in the 1990s to Russian generals itching for a Cold War rematch to the machinations of the criminal underworld and even Silicon Valley, Potter tells a surprising story. With a 25,000-copy first printing.
