'A sizzling account'The Times

A hidden network sustains our world, but it's no longer safe.

Every button, house, nation and financial market depends on a massive, unseen web of cables across the ocean floor. Power cables and pipelines on the seafloor provide the world with energy. This is the newest battlefield where countries must protect their interests - and the functioning of daily life - while rivals test their limits. From the Baltic to the Pacific, sinister ruptures, mysterious vessels and submarine incursions mark a conflict already under way.

With gripping accounts of maritime patrols and access to naval officers, undersea engineers and cable operators, Elisabeth Braw captures the fragility of an infrastructure that underpins everything from mortgages to cancer research and the global financial system to simple emails.

The stakes are immense. Virtually all global internet traffic runs through these arteries, and energy runs in cables and pipelines alongside them - yet the more essential this network becomes, the more exposed it is. The Undersea War shows that the next great conflict may not erupt on land - but in the depths below.©2026 Elisabeth Braw (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

A compelling and revealing look at the new front-line of geopolitical conflict (Gordon Corera, author of RUSSIANS AMONG US)
Illuminating yet unsettling . . . It is rare for a nonfiction book to reveal the urgency and significance of a topic that has been largely ignored until now with such analytical precision and narrative power (Carlo Masala, author of IF RUSSIA WINS)
A masterful and compelling book by one of the most insightful observers of modern strategic competition . . . Timely, authoritative, and highly relevant, The Undersea War is essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and citizens alike (General David Petraeus, US Army, retired, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller CONFLICT)
Timely, authoritative, and deeply unsettling, The Undersea War illuminates
one of the most consequential - and least understood - security
challenges of our age (Emma Sky, author of THE UNRAVELING)
Writing with the authority of all her scholarship but with a journalist's eye for drama and suspense, Elisabeth Braw packs a real punch with this analysis. It's a war that is not just undersea. It's a war that is also under-reported and now certainly underway (Michael Clarke, Former Director General, Royal United Services Institute)
