Consider Countdown to Zero Day by Kim Zetter. Recommended by 1 sources.

Limiting features: prolonged technical passages and many procedural detours slow the narrative, and readers looking for abstract moralizing or prescriptive policy prescriptions will find the book more descriptive than normative.”
