NATIONAL BESTSELLER A Pulitzer Prize Finalist and t he definitive history of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, from the author of the New York Times bestseller *Area 51*
No one has ever written the history of the Defense Department's most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science RD agency. In the first-ever history about the organization, New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen draws on inside sources, exclusive interviews, private documents, and declassified memos to paint a picture of DARPA, or "the Pentagon's brain," from its Cold War inception in 1958 to the present.
This is the book on DARPA--a compelling narrative about this clandestine intersection of science and the American military and the often frightening results.
