The Shadow War

Poisoned dissidents. Election interference. Armed invasions. International treaties thrown into chaos. Secret military buildups. Hackers and viruses. Weapons deployed in space. China and Russia repeatedly spark news stories by carrying out bold acts of aggression and violating international laws and norms. In his new book, The Shadow War: Inside Russia’s and China’s Secret Operations to Defeat America, CNN anchor and national security correspondent Jim Sciutto provides a revealing guide to this new international conflict drawing upon on-the-ground reporting from Ukraine to the South China Sea, from a sub under the Arctic to unprecedented access to America’s Space Command.

Jim Sciutto is CNN’s chief national security correspondent and anchor of CNN Newsroom. After more than two decades as a foreign correspondent stationed in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, he returned to Washington to cover the Defense Department, the State Department, and intelligence agencies for CNN. His work has earned him Emmy Awards, the George Polk Award, the Edward R. Murrow award, and the Merriman Smith Memorial Award for excellence in presidential coverage.
