David E. Sanger

From the premiere New York Times Washington correspondent, a stunning and incisive look into how cyberwarfare is influencing elections, threatening national security, and bringing us to the brink of global war.Behind the Russian cyberattacks that may have thrown the 2016 election; behind the Sony hack; behind mysterious power outages around the world and the disappearance of thousands of personnel records from poorly guarded government servers are the traces of a new and powerful weapon, one that has the potential to remake global conflict like nothing since the invention of the atomic bomb. The Perfect Weapon is the riveting story of how, in less than a decade, cyberwarfare displaced terrorism and nuclear attacks as the greatest threat to American national security. Cheap to acquire, difficult to defend against, and designed to shield their user's identities so as to complicate retaliation, these weapons are capable of an unprecedented range of offensive tactics; they can take us just short of war, allowing for everything from disruption to theft to the cause of widespread damage of essential infrastructure systems. And the vulnerability of those systems has created a related but equally urgent conflict: American companies like Apple and Cisco must claim allegiance to no government in the name of selling secure products around the globe yet the US intelligence agencies want the help of such companies in defending against future cyberattacks. Reported and written with unprecedented access by New York Times chief Washington correspondent and bestselling author David Sanger, The Perfect Weapon takes readers inside war rooms and boardrooms, into the secret cyberdens of American and Chinese military, to give the deep-background story of the increasingly pitched battle between nations, their governments, their cyberwarriors, and their corporations.

A fast-paced account of America’s plunge into simultaneous Cold Wars against two very different adversaries—Xi Jinping’s China and Vladimir Putin’s Russia—based on deep reporting from inside the White House, U.S. intelligence agencies, technology firms, and foreign governments.More than thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the United States finds itself in a volatile rivalry against the world’s other two great nuclear powers. Yet this era bears very little resemblance to the old Cold War. As Putin and Xi increasingly threaten to team up, this moment grows far more complex—and undeniably more dangerous—than the world of a half century ago.New Cold Wars —the latest from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author of The Perfect Weapon, David E. Sanger—tells the riveting story of America at a crossroads. At the turn of the millennium, the United States was confident that a democratic Russia and a newly wealthy China could gradually be pulled into the Western-led order. That proved a fantasy. By the time Washington emerged from the age of terrorism, the three nuclear powers were engaged in a new, high-stakes struggle for military, economic, and technological supremacy—with nations around the world forced to take sides.Based on a remarkable array of interviews with top officials in the United States, foreign leaders, andtech companies thrust onto the front lines, Sanger unfolds a riveting narrative spun around the era’s critical Will the mistakes Putin made in his ill-considered invasion of Ukraine prove his undoing, and will he reach for his nuclear arsenal? Will China strike back at the U.S. chip embargo, or seize Taiwan, the world’s semiconductor capital?Taking readers from the battlefields of Ukraine—where trench warfare and cyberwarfare are fought side by side—to the back rooms and boardrooms where diplomats, spies, and tech executives jockey for geopolitical advantage, New Cold Wars is a remarkable first draft history chronicling America’s return to superpower conflict, the choices that lie ahead, and what is at stake for the United States and the world.

FROM INSIDE OBAMA’S SITUATION ROOM . . . THE CRITICAL MOMENTS IN THE COVERT WAR AGAINST IRAN, THE STRUGGLES TO DEAL WITH A RECALCITRANT PAKISTAN AND ITS FAST-GROWING NUCLEAR ARSENAL, THE TENSIONS WITH THE AMERICAN MILITARY OVER AFGHANISTAN AND WITH ALLIES SWEPT UP IN THE CHAOS OF THE ARAB SPRING Three and a half years ago, David Sanger’s book The The World Obama Confronts and the Challenges to American Power described how a new American president came to office with the world on fire. Now, just as the 2012 presidential election battle begins, Sanger follows up with an eye-opening, news-packed account of how Obama has dealt with those challenges, relying on innovative weapons and reconfigured tools of American power to try to manage a series of new threats. Sanger describes how Obama’s early idealism about fighting “a war of necessity” in Afghanistan quickly turned to fatigue and frustration, how the early hopes that the Arab Spring would bring about a democratic awakening slipped away, and how an effort to re-establish American power in the Pacific set the stage for a new era of tensions with the world’s great rising power, China. As the world seeks to understand the contours of the Obama Doctrine, Confront and Conceal is a fascinating, unflinching account of these complex years, in which the president and his administration have found themselves struggling to stay ahead in a world where power is diffuse and America’s ability to exert control grows ever more elusive.

Readers of The New York Times know David Sanger as one of the most trusted correspondents in Washington, one to whom presidents, secretaries of state, and foreign leaders talk with unusual candor. Now, with a historian’s sweep and an insider’s eye for telling detail, Sanger delivers an urgent intelligence briefing on the world America faces.In a riveting narrative, The Inheritance describes the huge costs of distraction and lost opportunities at home and abroad as Iraq soaked up manpower, money, and intelligence capabilities. The 2008 market collapse further undermined American leadership, leaving the new president with a set of challenges unparalleled since Franklin D. Roosevelt entered the Oval Office.Sanger takes readers into the White House Situation Room to reveal how Washington penetrated Tehran’s nuclear secrets, leading President Bush, in his last year, to secretly step up covert actions in a desperate effort to delay an Iranian bomb. Meanwhile, his intelligence chiefs made repeated secret missions to Pakistan as they tried to stem a growing insurgency and cope with an ally who was also aiding the enemy–while receiving billions in American military aid. Now the new president faces critical Is it better to learn to live with a nuclear Iran or risk overt or covert confrontation? Is it worth sending U.S. forces deep into Pakistani territory at the risk of undermining an unstable Pakistani government sitting on a nuclear arsenal? It is a race against time and against a new effort by Islamic extremists–never before disclosed–to quietly infiltrate Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program.“Bush wrote a lot of checks,” one senior intelligence official told Sanger, “that the next president is going to have to cash.”The Inheritance takes readers to Afghanistan, where Bush never delivered on his promises for a Marshall Plan to rebuild the country, paving the way for the Taliban’s return. It examines the chilling calculus of North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il, who built actual weapons of mass destruction in the same months that the Bush administration pursued phantoms in Iraq, then sold his nuclear technology in the Middle East in an operation the American intelligence apparatus missed. And it explores how China became one of the real winners of the Iraq war, using the past eight years to expand its influence in Asia, and lock up oil supplies in Africa while Washington was bogged down in the Middle East. Yet Sanger, a former foreign correspondent in Asia, sees enormous potential for the next administration to forge a partnership with Beijing on energy and the environment.At once a secret history of our foreign policy misadventures and a lucid explanation of the opportunities they create, The Inheritance is vital reading for anyone trying to understand the extraordinary challenges that lie ahead.

2015'te Rus hackerlar Demokratik Ulusal Komite'nin bilgisayar sistemlerinin en derin köşelerine kadar sızdı ve oradan çaldıkları e-postalarda yazan bilgilerin ifşasıyla Amerikan demokrasisinin gidişatı yön değiştirdi. Ama bu işi sadece Trump dönemi ile alakalı zannetmek, büyük resmi bizlere göstermekte aciz kalır; nitekim yine aynı yıl Ruslar sadece Beyaz Saray'ın, ABD Dışişleri Bakanlığı'nın ve ABD Kuvvet Komutanlığı'nın siber ağlarına girmekle kalmayıp bir de Amerikan nükleer santrallerinin de içine implantlar yerleştirerek ABD'nin tüm elektrik şebekesini diledikleri zaman açıp kapatma gücüne eriştiler. Bu dönem, dünyanın süper güçlü devletleri arasında on yıldır süregelen bir dijital sabotaj sürecinin zirvesiydi ve ABD, hiçbir şey yapmasa bile Çin, İran, Kuzey Kore ve Rusya'nın birbirleriyle siber uzaydaki amansız, hatta savaşa sebep olabilecek kadar çetin çatışmalarının arasında kalıp yine de dolaylı yoldan hasar görmüştü. Siber teknolojinin öncüsü ve lideri olmakla böbürlenen Amerikalılar, başkalarının da aynı oyuncaklara sahip olup üstünlük sağlayabileceğini öngörememişlerdi - konu dijital yoldan saldırmak olunca ABD'nin eli kuvvetliydi, ama bir gün aynı kudrette savunma yapmaları gerekeceğini hiç düşünmemiş ve rakiplerini hafife almanın bedelini bu saldırılara, hatta 'komşularının' kavgalarından sıçrayabilecek hasarlara karşı bile hazırlıksız yakalanarak ödemişlerdi. Peki ya bir gün, tüm siber saldırıların okları onlara çevrilirse ne yapacaklardı? Mükemmel Silah, atom bombasının icadından bu yana jeopolitik dengeleri en ağır şekilde sarsan gücün, yani siber silahların yükseliş hikayesini, başka hiçbir yerde bulamayacağınız detaylarla anlatıyor. Elde etmesi çok ucuz, reddetmesi ve kabullenmemesi çok kolay olan bu cephanelerin şeytani amaçlar için kullanılması halinde nasıl geri dönüşü imkansız nifak tohumlarının atılabileceğini, kudretli ve büyük geçinen ülkelerin bu silahlara karşı ne kadar aciz kalacağını en çıplak haliyle okuyucusuna gösteriyor. New York Times'ın ulusal güvenlik muhabiri ve siber savaş uzmanı David E. Sanger'ın kaleminden çıkan bu eser, Silikon Vadisi'nden Çin'deki en derin yeraltı şebekesi dehlizlerine dek savrulan bir macerada herkesi kalıcı bir sabotaj, casusluk, bilgi kirliliği ve korku çağının başlangıcına hazırlanmaya davet ediyor. Siber, demokratik olsun olmasın, tüm ülkelerin ve terörist oluşumların yeni gözde silahı. Artık herkes birilerinin hedefinde, ve hiç kimse güvende değil.
