Good primer for current cyber threats and strategies for defense. It is a little heavy on military language, hence the the title, cyber warfare, though most of the issues can be considered cyber crime or just cyber security. Targeted audience is probably DOD folks but proposed solutions such as ZTA, MFA, SDP, etc are in mainstream market.

I've known the author of this book, Dr. Chase Cunningham, for a number of years now. When the Canon project was just getting started, the committee chose his graphic novels "The Cynja: Volume 1," and "Code of the Cynja: Volume 2" as Hall of Fame candidates because they are perfect books for that budding hacker teenager you might have in your family. But the audience for this book, "Cyber Warfare –Truth, Tactics and Strategies" is the professional security practitioner.
The book's title is a bit of a misnomer. It's not really about Cyber Warfare per se, although Dr. Cunningham does mention the origin of the APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) term. You won't find any details about how adversary groups from Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and the U.S. pursue their continuous-low-level-cyber-conflict operations; cyber harassment for espionage, influence operations, and even some destruction in the 2010s and into the 2020s.
The book is really about network defender strategic planning to deal with those threats in the future. He makes the case that perimeter defense is dead and we should all be thinking about edge security. When I interviewed him for my podcast on the Cyberwire network, he said that technologies like SASE and Software Defined Perimeter were the future and I wholeheartedly agree with him.
That said, It's not a must read. There are a lot of interesting ideas here and but Dr. Cunningham has been doing this a long time. His insights are always worth considering.
