WITHOUT DOUBT, THERE IS MUCH OF BOTH VALUE AND INTEREST IN THIS work, despite its relatively short length (only 150 pages of actual reading text). This is an area which, almost on a daily basis, is at the forefront of national and international news stories: the concepts, as well as the practicalities, of cyber warfare necessitate serious, academic study, away from newspaper headlines and commentary by journalists and/or political pundits. Such analysis is even more pressing when undertaken in relation to one of the most important member states of the international community: the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In choosing to examine the PRC’s cyber warfare capability, both intellectual and physical, Jason Fritz is to be warmly thanked for allowing the reader, both specialist and non-specialist alike (the book is written in an accessible way), the opportunity to peer behind the cyber ‘Bamboo Curtain’ and gain an insight into how the PRC has approached and developed its views on this important aspect of contemporary warfare.

China's Cyber Warfare: The Evolution of Strategic Doctrine establishes a common vocabulary for engaging the ever-changing field of cyber warfare studies. By breaking down and delineating the subject matter into its core elements, clearly contextualized within an historical framework, Jason Fritz has provided a valuable framework for anyone trying to understand the multifaceted role of cyber warfare within China's broader strategic doctrine.
