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":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51534898463063,"sku":"9780197745854","price":102.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197745854.jpg?v=1755857997","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/subversion-9780197745854","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
