{"product_id":"subversion","title":"Subversion","description":"In Subversion, Lennart Maschmeyer provides a powerful new theory and analysis of an age-old concept. While a strategy of subversion offers great strategic promise in theory, it faces an underappreciated set of challenges that limit its strategic value in practice. Drawing from two major cases--the KGB''s use of traditional subversion methods to crush the Prague Spring in 1968 and Russia''s less successful use of cyberwarfare against Ukraine since 2014--Maschmeyer demonstrates both the benefits and weaknesses of the approach. While many believe that today''s cyber-based subversion campaigns offer new strategic opportunities, they also come with their own challenges. Because of these disadvantages, cyber operations continue to fall short of expectations--most recently in the Russo-Ukrainian war. By showing that traditional subversion methods remain the more potent threat, Subversion forces us to reconsider our fears of the subversive potential of cyberwar.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57245177774462,"sku":"NW9780197745861","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780197745861.jpg?v=1778535733","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/subversion","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
