Cyberwarfare—like the seismic shift of policy with nuclear warfare—is modifying warfare into non-war warfare. A few distinctive characteristics of cyberwar emerge and blur the distinction between adversary and ally. Cyber probes continuously occur between allies and enemies alike, causing cyberespionage to merge with warfare. Espionage—as old as war itself—has technologically merged with acts of cyberwar as states threaten each other with prepositioned malware in each other’s cyberespionage-probed infrastructure. These two cyber shifts to warfare are agreed upon and followed by the United States, Russia, and China. What is not agreed upon in this shifting era of warfare are the policies on which cyberwarfare is based. In Shadow Warfare, Elizabeth Van Wie Davis charts these policies in three key actors and navigates the futures of policy on an international stage. Essential reading for students of war studies and security professionals alike.

Davis argues persuasively that cyber technology—like the Cold War development of increasingly destructive nuclear weapons—requires of nations a complex rethinking of the nature of modern warfare.... Davis does an excellent job of explaining such concepts as hacktivism, cyberespionage, weaponized cyberattacks, cyberterrorism, and online disinformation campaigns by presenting numerous illustrative examples. She also points out that entirely laudable policies, such as tracking COVID exposure through facial recognition, social network analysis, cell phone monitoring, and other invasive technologies may lead to increased governmental privacy violations in the future. Davis's most creative argument is that the longstanding differences between the Western nations, Russia, and China in their philosophical attitudes to warfare now are impacting the various ways in which these countries approach cyber conflicts. Recommended.
