Read this if
Strategy and policy readers who want a serious French argument about cyber as continuous low-intensity conflict, with concrete doctrine and recommendations. Gergorin brings real statecraft experience.
Skip this if
Technical readers wanting attacks or defence; it's a strategy/policy book aimed at decision-makers, not practitioners.
Key takeaways
- One of the most substantive French strategy books on cyber as permanent conflict.
- Gergorin is a former head of policy planning at the Quai d'Orsay — the statecraft is first-hand.
- Policy- and doctrine-focused, with concrete recommendations for France and Europe.
Notes
A heavyweight French entry in the cyber-strategy conversation, stronger on policy and recommendation than the more academic titles. Read it with Boyer and Kempf for the full French strategic shelf.
