A Fierce Domain: Conflict in Cyberspace, 1986-2012 is the first book of its kind- a comprehensive, accessible history of cyber conflict. A Fierce Domain reaches back to look at the major "wake-up calls," the major conflicts that have forced the realization that cyberspace is a harsh place where nations and others contest for superiority. The book identifies the key lessons for policymakers, and, most importantly, where these lessons greatly differ from popular myths common in military and political circles.

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Great book on the transformation of the Cyber domain since its roots. A Fierce Domain is different from other cyber books that claim it be uncharted territory or a new frontier that started in very recent years. This is no longer the case. I repeatedly paused to read other pieces of literature the book mentioned after it nudged my curiosity. Definitely a must read for students getting into the field and keep in their bookshelf or ebook folder/directory.

Insightful history that ties decades of stories together

April 4, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Excellent history of the evolution of cyber security. Strong themes tying the case studies together. A bit choppy, because as an edited book there is some overlap between individual authors, but the bottom line is that this is book does a great job of introducing us to cyber security from a historical/practitioners perspective. You may be shocked to learn just how slow our security institutions have been to learn the lessons of history.

December 1, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book unlike many on the subject (I'm looking at you Richard Clarke...) dives deep into the actual history of conflict through and in cyberspace. While it is primarily from a US perspective it is valuable as a case archive for any scholar, prognosticator, or armchair cyber-strategist to ruminate over. My only misgiving is that the conclusion seems to fail to live up to the richness of the rest of the text largely focusing on issues such as attribution rather than the truly novel features of cyberspace.

Excellent overview of the history of cyber conflict. Well researched and well written--highly recommend it. I've used it as a textbook for the Strategic Cyber Operations course I teach for a Cybersecurity master's degree.

Excellent and Much Needed Book

April 22, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Healey does something much needed in this domain and presents a brief history of cyber conflict over the last 25 years and traces some of the major policy and organizational changes that occured as a result of specific events and cyber attacks. A must read for any serious operater in cyber operations.

Much less than it could be...would benefit from editing

January 8, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I wanted to like this book but in the end I found it to be redundant, dated and a slow read. Most of the book consists of essays from others. Many of these are dated, poorly edited, and lack detailed research or citation. I know many of the events were classified at the time but there is more available today then what made it into this book. Even Cliff Stohl's essay about the Cuckoo's Egg hack doesn't compare with the page turning book of the same name. The author's own work has a few nuggets and anecdotes but overall it's wordier than it needs to be for the few original points being made.

Outdated

November 26, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Unfortunately, the book has become very outdated; in fact, it might well have been outdated the day after it was published. There are a plethora of studies, analysis, and other publications from reputable centers available online that are considerably more up-to-date and detailed than this book. People trying to actually understand the cyber threat world would be much better served by going to better online sources.

Should be required reading for all national security professionals

September 26, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is the most important book on cyber conflict available today. It is the only book on the market that dives deep into lessons learned from the most important episodes to date in cyber conflict. The author has lived through most of these battles and uses deep research and interviews to fill in the gaps.

Amatuerish attempt to catologue cyber war by a non-military individual. Editing is atrocious. Misuse of acronyms is actually hilarious if it weren't sad.
