Russia has been waging a war for decades in an effort to reemerge and compete with — or possibly surpass — America, replacing it as the world’s superpower. As is evident by Vladimir Putin’s actions over the last few years, he’s intent on becoming THE world power. But he’s learning he can’t compete with the United States in any real measure — militarily, economically, technologically.

 

His backup plan? To hack away at America with his vast arsenal of resources, which includes the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR), the Main Directorate of the General Staff (GRU), the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Federal Protective Service (FSO), Unit 26165, Unit 74455, the Internet Research Agency, and other factions.

 

Russia's Cyber Assault on America chronicles the origins of Putin's cyber-security manifesto embedded in the Gerasimov Doctrine and the relentless barrage of attacks now being employed by Russian hackers against the United States and other countries that Putin deems his adversaries.

 

In Russia's Cyber Assault on America, the first in Charles Denyer’s series Enemy of the State, Denyer presents a clear, concise, and informative, assessment of Russia’s, specifically Putin’s, past and present, with some thoughts about what’s to come.
