Acerca de esta escucha

Discover the definitive history of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, in this Pulitzer Prize finalist from the author of the New York Times best seller Area 51.

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 the first-ever history about the organization, New York Times best-selling 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 audiobook on DARPA - a compelling narrative about this clandestine intersection of science and the American military and the often frightening results.

Reseñas editoriales

"Annie Jacobsen...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)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A fascinating and unsettling portrait of the secretive US 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." ( Publishers Weekly starred review)
"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." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Good historical view of DARPA!!

the Pentagon truly is a spooky place.

the narration was very good. I can't even imagine the amount of research that went into this book. people would be absolutely amazed what goes on in the Pentagon and on some of these black budget missions.

Intriguing

The stories we hear under whispers and in the showdows of what Darpa and other facilities the government contracts with are all doing real research for the betterment of society. So we're told, but we're not told much at all. Is that better for our own security to have this going on ? Annie does a hell of a job digging into what our future may hold. A great listen , worth the time and I am grateful for her efforts to write about and discover the truth about where our defense money is going.

Great history ride

A great history ride through DARPAs influence of our country. I was very engaged the whole time. Thinking about how DARPA created things and how it has translated to Main Street was fun to do.

Incredible Verified True Story of DARPA

If you seek answers regarding government agencies, their establishment, history, and declassified activities along with personal interviews, there are a number of authors that must be read in order to put together the full story. Annie Jacobsen’s tireless works are part of this catalogue of factual nonfiction. Through this book, the revelations on how DARPA began and who was involved in its inception will assist readers in understanding what is going on in both America and the Global World of current times. It's a long listen...and I recommend reading it with a pen or making multiple bookmarks with annotations. Never fold the pages of a book...any decent book collector knows this is a terrible mistake.
