The Raid on Microsoft (James Farrin, 2007)

The story of the June 1997 attack (primarily with RPGs and small arms) on the Microsoft campus, in response to a worm planted by MS with the help of hackers in December 1996 that made much of the Soviet Air Defense Network ineffective for three weeks. The attack was undertaken by KGB agents who were given no hard targets, no real support, had only MS-made maps, and were all killed in the attack. A look at a classic bungled operation.
