"This even-handed and thoroughly researched study of subversion adds significantly to our understanding of covert cyber operations carried out by nations against adversaries. With insightful case studies of Russian invasions into Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Ukraine in 2013 and again in 2022, the book proved a highly readable and reliable examination of cyber conflict in the modern era."" * Loch K. Johnson, Regents Professor Emeritus, School of Public and International Affairs, University of Georgia * In Subversion: From Covert Operations to Cyber Conflict, Lennart Maschmeyer develops a deductive theory of subversion that he skillfully applies with rich case studies to a carefully scoped set of cases and strategic outcomes. When applied to cyber operations, he helps advance understanding of cyber's utility, particularly the limits of cyber effects operations as tools of regime change or as substitutes for physical attack."" * Emily O. Goldman, US Cyber Command *"
