Propaganda - From Disinformation and Influence to Operations and Information Warfare

The book is a modern primer on propaganda. Disinformation, trolls, bots, information influence, psychological operations, information operations and information warfare. PROPAGANDA offers a contemporary model for thinking about the subject. It puts them in their proper place.

The first two decades of the 21st century have brought qualitative and quantitative technological and societal changes, and the subject of Information Influence needs to get re-ordered. Now is the time. Information influence in the third decade of the 21st century culminates in two events.

The first is the COVID 19 pandemic. This was a time when information influence was particularly relevant, with ubiquitous reports and news about the threats and risks.

The war in Ukraine is another critical event. Propaganda and information warfare were used on a daily basis. This war was undoubtedly one of the moments when we were reminded of the existence of propaganda methods.
