The Red Web: The Struggle Between Russia’s Digital Dictators and the New Online Revolutionaries

Sorry, this got a little longer than I meant it to be - Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed - It's over 20 years old now but still really good, especially if you're into planes like the U-2, F-117, and SR-71 If you're wanting a deeper understanding of the other side of the war on terror, I'd recommend the following: - I Was Told to Come Alone: My Journey Behind the Lines of Jihad - Salafi-Jihadism: The History of an Idea - The Way of the Strangers: Encounters with the Islamic State - After the Prophet: The Epic Story of the Shia-Sunni Split in Islam - The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against al-Qaeda If you're wanting a dive into Russia: - The Invention of Russia: From Gorbachev's Freedom to Putin's War - The Red Web: The Struggle Between Russia's Digital Dictators and the New Online Revolutionaries - Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia If you're wanting true Spy stuff: - The Billion Dollar Spy: A True Story of Cold War Espionage and Betrayal - The Spy's Son: The True Story of the Highest-Ranking CIA Officer Ever Convicted of Espionage and the Son He Trained to Spy for Russia…

Add in "Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible" and you've got some decent insight into modern Russia, I think. Just finished: - Left of Boom: How a Young CIA Case Officer Penetrated the Taliban and Al-Qaeda Interesting to read. Author is rather sure of himself, but I guess that helped him be successful.

Kind of sloppily redacted at times, with the redacted country or entity clearly referenced a sentence or two later. And then there's strange things redacted, like the language of bootleg DVDs that are purchased in SE Afghanistan. It's Farsi, for the record. - The Hacked World Order: How Nations Fight, Trade, Maneuver, and Manipulate in the Digital Age…
