Summary of The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age by David E. Sanger: Conversation Starters

Book excerpt: The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age by David E. Sanger: Conversation Starters World conflict has now evolved from nuclear weapons and terrorism into cyberwarfare, one that the US suddenly finds itself disadvantaged. The US is the most advanced nation in cyber technology and yet has been subject to numerous cyber attacks from other countries including that of the Russian interference in the 2016 elections in which the US has still to retaliate. Investigative journalist David Sanger says the American government has been quiet and secretive about cyberweapons which prevents the public from discussing cyberwarfare policy. A three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Sanger is also the author of two New York Times bestselling books on foreign policy and national security-- The Inheritance and Confront and Conceal.
