4.0 out of 5 stars methods of information warfare, September 27, 2006
By W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The subject is exceedingly topical. As the world increasingly computerises into an information age, what might future conflicts look like? There are speculations on possible strategies and tactics, to take advantage of an enemy's information infrastructure weaknesses. Here, there is an ironic turn of events. Nowadays, a physical battlefield might be totally transparent to remote sensing. But the digital battlefield affords vast opportunities to fool the enemy.

The book also points out that the idea of a lone attacker is not as dangerous as an entire state being the attacker in an information warface context. The state can bring far more resources to bear, both initially and on a sustained basis. Which is reassuring, in all the current hoopla about the War on Terrorism. Terrorists simply lack the resources of a state, and cannot realistically wage information warfare against a nation.
