Dark America
Lights Out — A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath, by Ted Koppel, New York: Crown Publishers, 2015, 279 pages, hardcover.
For the generation that can remember the days of the Iran hostage crisis from November 1979 through January 1981, the face of Ted Koppel is a familiar one. For 25 years, Koppel was the anchor for the late-night ABC News program Nightline, and the half-hour broadcast that began as a nightly update on the hostage crisis became a forum for in-depth discussion of a wide range of issues.
Although Koppel remains one of the most readily identifiable television journalists, he had rarely ventured into the realm of print journalism. In Lights Out, Koppel sets forth a scenario in which the American Republic is functionally held hostage.
