Several incidents that the USA is involved in and also became prey to the cyber crimes are explained coherently in the book. One of the most interesting incidents that caught my attention is how earlier the United States used Operation Olympic Games to destroy centrifuges for nuclear reactors in Iran. In some places, it was very hard to come to a conclusion if the taken step is acceptable or not.
Author Sanger describes how the advent of cyber capabilities has caused a paradigmatic shift in the international security environment. He also stresses the cost because they are cheap, relatively easy to acquire, and extremely effective.
The book, The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age may appeal to all those readers who are most interested in world cyber crimes, cyber weapons, and strategic political sequences.
My Final Verdict:
3/5
