Book excerpt: An urgently needed examination of the current cyber revolution that draws on case studies to develop conceptual frameworks for understanding its effects on international order The cyber revolution is the revolution of our time. The rapid expansion of cyberspace brings both promise and peril. It promotes new modes of political interaction, but it also disrupts interstate dealings and empowers non-state actors who may instigate diplomatic and military crises. Despite significant experience with cyber phenomena, the conceptual apparatus to analyze, understand, and address their effects on international order remains primitive. Here, Lucas Kello adapts and applies international relations theory to create new ways of thinking about cyber strategy. Kello draws on a broad range of case studies, including the Estonian crisis, the Olympic Games operation against Iran, and the cyber attack against Sony Pictures. Synthesizing qualitative data from government documents, forensic reports of major incidents and interviews with senior officials from around the globe, this important work establishes new conceptual benchmarks to help security experts adapt strategy and policy to the unprecedented challenges of our times.

Book excerpt: Conflict in the last century was defined by the horrific potential of physical and especially nuclear war. Now we are in a new technological era--a world of more subtle, yet no less grave, threats, an environment in which various actors can deeply penetrate vital infrastructures and instigate diplomatic and military crises. Today, computer code is the weapon of choice. Can anything be done beyond shoring up our defenses in a state of permanent insecurity? Lucas Kello delves into recent history to reveal the failures of the present policy in preventing and punishing cyberattacks and other forms of technological aggression. Drawing upon case studies and interviews, Kello develops a bold new solution--a coordinated retaliation strategy that justly and effectively responds to attacks and deters further antagonism. This book provides an approachable yet nuanced exploration of national security and survival in the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: In this highly provocative and documented book, Thibault Muzergues describes how war in Europe is now more likely than it has been for at least the past 30 years, how it might come back to Europe and what Europeans can do to avoid getting drawn again in fratricide conflicts. Many consider Europe a continent of peace, with NATO guaranteeing its security and the EU providing the political glue for a Europe Whole and Free. But what if this was not the case anymore? What if, after a decade of crisis, today’s Europe was much more fragile than we thought? The author challenges our assumptions about peace in Europe and forces us to face the realities of a world that has become much more dangerous. Far from being apocalyptic, this book serves as an advance warning to the dangers, both internal and external that are now closing in on Europe – and suggests solutions to avoid them. This book will be key reading for those interested in European politics and history, the European Union, security, and strategic studies, and more broadly to current affairs and international relations.

Book excerpt: "Technology is not simply a panacea for everything."Through a computer revolution that has rapidly turned science fiction into fact, the face of war has changed to such a degree that technology has become the dominant aspect.We live in the age of the cyberknight, but our increasing reliance upon technology over human is a double-edged sword, and could render us highly vulnerable.As James Adams shows, where the military was once the cutting-edge of the civilian sector has overtaken, and not without consequences. It is now a process of identifying and adapting to purpose, but the tools that could render a state impotent rest at the fingertips of every individual possessing a keyboard and connection.States that fail to keep up may well fall behind.France learnt this lesson with the railway revolution, for in not jumping aboard she found herself at a disadvantage in the Franco-Prussian War, despite superior combat technology.Ultimately the spread of technology -- not just computers, but radio, telephone and television -- means that war will never be the same again.Posing questions and dilemmas that remain relevant to this day, The Next World War is a sobering study of information warfare, its development and its place in the wider picture. Praise for The Next World War 'As good an anecdotal survey of the evolving mix of high technology and world chaos as you're going to find' -- Washington TimesJames Adams is acknowledged as one of the world's leading experts on intelligence, covert warfare and terrorism and has written 15 bestselling books of fiction and non-fiction around those subjects. He worked at The Sunday Times as both the Defence Correspondent and Managing Editor. He then became CEO of United Press International, founded a cyber intelligence company and a virtual intelligence agency. He was on the Board of the National Security Agency where he was responsible for creating a new strategic plan for Signals Intelligence and he was also Chairman of the Technology Advisory Panel to oversee NSA's multi-billion dollar investment in new technology.
