Within Cyber war will not take place, Rid explores the argument contained within his title, arguing that as of 2013 cyber war had not, was not currently, and would not take place in future. This is, as Rid asserts, because war (in the Clausewitzian definition) is synonymous with physical violence. This volume, while the subject of debate since its publication, offers a useful challenge to the hyperbole often written or heard on cyber war.
