Information Wars Today examines how modern conflicts and public opinion are being reshaped by misinformation, propaganda, and psychological operations (PSYOPs) in the digital age. It explores the evolution of propaganda techniques, amplified by social media, and the application of PSYOPs targeting both combatants and civilians. Understanding these dynamics is crucial, as information warfare increasingly influences geopolitical events and public sentiment.
The book traces the historical roots of these techniques while demonstrating their modern adaptations, highlighting the psychological principles that make them effective. The book argues that information warfare is now a core component of modern power projection, capable of shaping narratives and eroding enemy morale.
Beginning with core concepts and historical applications, the book progresses through modern manifestations with case studies of recent conflicts and political campaigns. It examines online disinformation campaigns, including the use of bots and deepfakes, before discussing potential countermeasures like media literacy programs.
