In copmpliance with new Federal regulations of dubious Constitutional merit, I hearby declare ZP does not accept money for publishing reviews or any paid advertising. Courtesy review copies were extended to me by authors or publishers acting on behalf of Sam Logan, Tom Barnett and Jeff Carr. I edited the first book in this post and was a contributing author to the second one. All of the books, with the exception of Cyber Warfare have been the subject of prior reviews or posts at ZP.

    Have you gotten your copy of CyberWarfare yet? I haven’t.

    Amazon says CyberWarfare hasn’t been released…I have it pre-ordered. I ordered "Threats" as well…and have read some of the others. I’ve hawked it here before, but The Law of the Somalis is a great book on  understanding the divide between the jurisprudence of the West and the tribal traditions in many corners of the world.

    Hi Shlok, Hi Scott,
    .
    Cyberwarfare has not been released yet. Jeff is sending a couple of review copies out early but they have yet to arrive. If it gets here early enough, I’ll try to put up a review before Christmas.

    The Boyd Roundtable, Science, Strategy and War, Brave New War and Great Powers all great reads. I will pick up the Book on MS-13 for my own stocking. 🙂

    Heh. Sorry, was asking about the review copy (I’m slated for one too).
