Recenzje

'Delerue is a research fellow in cyber defense and international law at the Institute for Strategic Research … and his deep knowledge of cyber security and cyber defense and their relationship with international law is evident in the book. Delerue cogently explains difficult technical concepts in the field of cyber operations and makes these notions easily comprehensible for international lawyers. The book has many examples from real life cases of wrongful cyber operations and these examples ensure that the author's reasoning becomes more relatable … the book is an excellent academic endeavour.'
