Archival Summary & Scope

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Fred Kaplan’s *Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War* offers a "consistently surprising" and "alarming" look into the covert evolution of cyber warfare, praised by *The New York Times* and John le Carré. Kaplan, a Slate columnist, unearths the hidden history within the NSA, Pentagon, military, and White House, revealing the officers, policymakers, scientists, and spies who pioneered and engaged in these digital conflicts for decades. From the 1991 Gulf War to significant roles in conflicts across Haiti, Serbia, Syria, the former Soviet republics, Iraq, and Iran, this timely investigation illuminates a little-known past that casts an unsettling light on our future.
