Reviews
"Jacobsen's account will serve as the model for histories of military research and development and is likely to lead to more works and articles about DARPA.... Engrossing, conversation-starting read..."-- Library Journal, "Jacobsen offers a definitive history of the clandestine agency.... She explores the implications of DARPA work on technology that will not be widely known to the public for generations but will certainly impact national security and concepts of war."-- Vanessa Bush, Booklist (starred review), "Annie Jacobsen has a gift for unearthing secret, long-buried information."-- Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times, "In this fascinating and terrifying account, Annie Jacobsen regales us with the stories behind the agency's 'consequential and sometimes Orwellian' innovations, including autonomous weapons systems--killer robots that could decide, without human intervention, who lives and who dies."-- Bryan Schatz, Mother Jones, "A fascinating and unsettling portrait of the secretive U.S. government agency....Jacobsen walks a fine line in telling the story of the agency and its innovations without coming across as a cheerleader or a critic, or letting the narrative devolve into a salacious tell-all. Jacobsen's ability to objectively tell the story of DARPA, not to mention its murky past, is truly remarkable, making for a terrifically well-crafted treatise on the agency most Americans know next to nothing about." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), " The Pentagon's Brain puts Jacobsen in the company of important writers ... such as Shane Harris and Rajiv Chandrasekran."-- Chris Bray, Bookforum, "Annie Jacobsen's considerable talents as an investigative journalist prove indispensable in uncovering the remarkable history of one of America's most powerful and clandestine military research agencies. And she is a great storyteller, making the tantalizing tale of The Pentagon's Brain -- from the depths of the Cold War to present day -- come alive on every page."-- Gerald Posner, author of God's Bankers, "A fascinating and sometimes uneasy exploration of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency...."-- Dina Temple-Raston, The Washington Post, "With Annie Jacobsen's OPERATION PAPERCLIP for the first time the enormity of the effort has been laid bare. The result is a book that is at once chilling and riveting, and one that raises substantial and difficult questions about national honor and security...This book is a remarkable achievement of investigative reporting and historical writing."-- Boston Globe, "Filled with the intrigue and high stakes of a spy novel, Jacobsen's history of DARPA is as much a fascinating testament to human ingenuity as it is a paean to endless industrial warfare and the bureaucracy of the military-industrial complex."-- Kirkus Reviews, "An exciting read that asks an important question: what is the risk of allowing lethal technologies to be developed in secret?"-- Ann Finkbeiner, Nature, Pulitzer Prize Finalist in History One of The Washington Post's Notable Nonfiction Books of 2015 One of The Boston Globe's Best Books of 2015 One of Amazon's Top 100 Books of 2015 "A brilliantly researched account of a small but powerful secret government agency whose military research profoundly affects world affairs."-- The Pulitzer Prize Committee
