This book served as an excellent guide to understanding the timeline of Stuxnet. It goes deeper into the possible implications of *why* Stuxnet was as insidious as I always suspected. I learned more about the cyber weapon from this book than I did in 5 years of reading anecdotes and articles online. Sometimes nothing beats great research and a well written book.
