- 摘要附注:
- In this penetrating history of the Defense Department's most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science R & D agency, Annie Jacobsen draws on inside sources, exclusive interviews, private documents, and declassified memos to paint a picture of "the Pentagon's brain" from its Cold War inception in 1958 to the present. This is the essential book on DARPA--a compelling narrative about the clandestine intersection of science and the American military and the often jaw-dropping, futuristic, and frightening results. -- Provided by publisher.
