Histoire
The media often suggest that Russia poses the greatest threat to America's national security, but the real danger lies farther east. While those in power have been distracted and disorderly, China has waged a six-front war on America's economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education, and infrastructure - and they're winning. It's almost too late to undo the shocking, though nearly invisible, victories of the Chinese. In Stealth War, retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Spalding reveals China's motives and secret attacks on the West.

Histoire
Mikhail Khodorkovsky has seen behind the mask of Vladimir Putin. Once an oil tycoon and the richest man in Russia, Khodorkovsky spoke out against the corruption of Putin's regime—and was punished by the Kremlin, stripped of his entire wealth and jailed for over ten years. Now freed, working as a pro-democracy campaigner in enforced exile, Khodorkovsky brings us the insider's battle to save his country's soul. Offering an urgent analysis of what has gone wrong with Putin, The Russia Conundrum maps the country's rise and fall against Khodorkovsky's own journey.

The Perfect Weapon is the startling inside story of how the rise of cyberweapons transformed geopolitics like nothing since the invention of the atomic bomb. Cheap to acquire, easy to deny, and usable for a variety of malicious purposes, cyber is now the weapon of choice for democracies, dictators, and terrorists. Two presidents - Bush and Obama - drew first blood with Operation Olympic Games, which used malicious code to blow up Iran’s nuclear centrifuges, and yet America proved remarkably unprepared when its own weapons were stolen from its arsenal.

In Putin’s People, the investigative journalist and former Moscow correspondent Catherine Belton reveals the untold story of how Vladimir Putin and the small group of KGB men surrounding him rose to power and looted their country. Delving deep into the workings of Putin’s Kremlin, Belton accesses key inside players to reveal how Putin replaced the freewheeling tycoons of the Yeltsin era with a new generation of loyal oligarchs, who in turn subverted Russia’s economy and legal system and extended the Kremlin's reach into the United States and Europe.

Description
CNN’s chief national security correspondent reveals the invisible fronts of 21st-century warfare and identifies the ongoing battles being waged - often without the public’s full knowledge - from disinformation campaigns to advanced satellite weaponry.
The United States is currently under attack from multiple adversaries - yet most Americans have no idea of the dangers threatening us. In this eye-opening audiobook, military and intelligence expert and seasoned reporter Jim Sciutto traces the expanding web of attacks that together amount to an undeclared but deeply dangerous war on America.
With in-depth reporting from Ukraine to the South China Sea, Cuba to the earth’s atmosphere, unprecedented access to America’s Space Command, and new information from inside the intelligence agencies tracking election interference, Sciutto draws on his deep knowledge, high-level contacts, and personal experience as a journalist and diplomat to paint the most comprehensive and vivid picture of a nation targeted by a new and disturbing brand of warfare.
America is engaged in a shadow war on multiple fronts, with multiple enemies. The practitioners include America’s most familiar adversaries: Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. But unlike conventional warfare, these conflicts are conducted in the shadows, with no formal declaration, and often use multiple sources, from influential businessmen and lawyers to hackers. And it is happening today.
But America is adapting and fighting back. In The Shadow War, Sciutto introduces the dizzying array of soldiers, sailors, submariners and their commanders, space engineers, computer scientists, and civilians who are on the front lines of this new kind of forever war. Intensive and disturbing, this invaluable and important work opens our eyes and makes clear that future war is here.

A must read
Well written and narration by the author is terrific. This is a compelling and well researched cautionary tale. It is scary, as it lays out the treats presented to America and indeed the world, by Russia and China. It also delineates strategies to defuse these threats...recommended by very knowledgeable experts. It should be mandatory reading for all politicians and departmental decision makers! A great book written by a true patriot!

Informative and interesting, but incomplete.
Informative and interesting, but paints a dangerously incomplete picture of the world.
Jim Sciutto's book is a very interesting look at the tactics employed by two of America's rivals - Russia & China - to challenge American global dominance. Sciutto's theory is that both nations are employing a form of assymetric warfare designed to challenge US interests, but to stay "below the threshold" that would elicit a powerful (presumably military) response.
In order to support this idea, he cites several different incidents - from China's expansion in the South China sea, where he paints a picture of the transformation and militarization of the region by China over the last decade; to the Ukraine, where Russia very successfully employed proxies to manipulate the situation towards their interests. Throughout the narration, he builds a convincing case that these two countries are indeed violating what he defines as "the rules based global order", led by the United States. There is a compelling amount of evidence to demonstrate both that this is happening, and that the US response to it has been inadequate.
However, this is ultimately a superficial examination of world events, because the author seems to be under the delusion that these are exceptional actions, rather than simply tools of statecraft used by almost all global players - foremost among them the United States itself. Russia's use of proxies in the Ukraine follows exactly the template the US set in Libya and Syria, except that the Russians were more committed to the operation due to geographical closeness, and thereby more successful. China's militarization of the South China sea and aggressive ramp-up of military spending deserves scrutiny, but it must be viewed in context: China’s military spending is still only 1/5th that of the United States - and both past and current US administrations have made plenty of noises that would make any competitor nervous and inclined to increase their military budget.
The author’s portrayal of these two nations as the primary obstacle to world peace is simply not believable for most people who live outside US borders: Global polls, even during the Obama era, consistently showed that Russia and China are seen as less of a threat to world peace than the US.
Additionally, all the solutions proposed by the author fall right into the category described by Ronan Farrow as “mil-think” - an approach to solving conflicts that is primarily military, rather than diplomatic in nature. Sciutto’s selection of who he interviews is consistent with this, as his selections generally involve the people whose job it is to be paranoid about security - again, it is reasonable to interview people in security and threat assessment, but interviewing only these people without gathering the thoughts of diplomats is a glaring error. Thus, almost all the proposed “solutions” involve escalations in military pressure by the United States, or more drastic sanctions; neither of which are likely to garner any degree of public support from an already war-weary general electorate.
All in all, this is an informative book to read, but it paints a disturbingly inaccurate view of the world and involves almost no reflection on what our place in the world ought to be. Instead, much like former President George W Bush, it attempts to neatly divide the world into good and evil forces, and attempts to ask the question, “How should we respond to these evil people attacking us?”. It answers that question well, but the flawed premise of that line of questioning remains unexamined.
The book is still worth reading, as it is an entertaining and informative look at the tools of statecraft employed by our rivals, but I’d highly recommend reading two other books first: (1) Ben Rhodes’ “The World as it is” - an excellent memoir of the State Department during the Obama administration; and (2) Ronan Farrow’s “War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence” - about the decline of what used to be the world’s most powerful & effective diplomatic machine: the US State Department. Without that background reading, this book will likely just lead you into a state of mindless jingoism, the results of which were clearly seen during the Bush administration years. The world cannot be neatly divided into forces of good and evil, no matter how hard security experts try to convince you otherwise.
The narration for the audiobook is excellent.

succinct
Not too political and very succinct in its telling. Gives some good information I wasn't aware of before. He does a very good job with his first hand accounts and walks through some of the backgrounds that lead up to current events you might not have put together before.
The best part it is not full of Nepostism of the US being helpless but instead provides hope that if we pay attention, we very well can be the country that continues to steer world policy. And thank God for that.

Twilight Zone In Real Time
Shadow War scares me because of America's late start in regards to computer coding, along with the inability to speak multiple languages, as well as behind China and Russia in regards to their technological achievements. . . Mr. Sciutto's narration is exceptional. He makes this story perfectly clear, America must catch-up with not one, but two superpowers. . . This is a splendid audiobook. It's concise within it's narrative and extremely thought-provoking. A must-read or to listen too...🎧📲
Makes me wonder; is America prepared for a simultaneous, three prong, Shadow War, were it to happen today?🤔😢

Outstanding
You can discount CNN all you want, but I’d Say you are wildly missing out on a good resource. Jim does wonderful work outlining exactly why china and Russia are quickly becoming the Indians to our proverbial Redcoats. The over arching point being why declare open warfare when you can gain everything you want via the hybrid warfare he describes that both countries are currently cheerfully using against us at will — I would hope the current administration would take note but....

Good Info BUT...
I cannot stand the way the narrator and author pronounces the word “submariner”. I’m sure bubbleheads everywhere are just filled with glee that this one guy has honored their preference for the British pronunciation but it’s annoying. As a US Navy Veteran and topsider I have to say it’s like listening to nails on a chalkboard. No one pronounces it “sub-mah-reener” in the Navy. No one but the self important “sub-mare-in-ers”.
As for the rest of the book I found the information to be informative, important and thought provoking. However at times the author repeats information and anecdotal stories almost verbatim and I found myself checking to make sure I hadn’t somehow skipped backwards through the audibook on accident.
Despite the fact that I found those two things extremely annoying but rated the book at 4 stars should tell you how important I felt the content of this book is. Although I will say this book could have used more Bob Anderson. In fact...the world needs more Bob Anderson-he should write a book.
