The Pentagon's Brain : An Uncensored History of DARPA, America's Top-Secret Military Research Agency

No one has ever written the history of the Defense Department's most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science R&D agency.

In this first-ever, in depth account of 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 the clandestine intersection of science and the American military and the often frightening results.
