Book Presentation and Discussion
Cyber War by Richard A. Clarke
Free admission

This is the first book about the war of the future =A8D cyber war =A8D
and a convincing argument that the U.S. may already be in peril of
losing it. Cyber War (recently published German title: World Wide War)
goes behind the "geek talk" of hackers and computer scientists to
explain clearly and convincingly what cyber war actually is, how cyber
weapons work, and how vulnerable the U.S. are as a nation and as
individuals to the vast and looming web of cyber criminals. From the
first cyber crisis meeting in the White House a decade ago to the
boardrooms of Silicon Valley and the electrical tunnels under Manhattan,
Clarke and co-author Robert K. Knake trace the rise of the cyber age and
profile the unlikely characters and places at the epicenter of this
battlefield.

Richard A. Clarke will discuss his new book with Stefan Kornelius,
