Résumé
Since the start of the Trump era, the United States and the Western
world has finally begun to wake up to the threat of online warfare and
the attacks from Russia, who flood social media with disinformation, and
circulate false and misleading information to fuel fake narratives and
make the case for illegal warfare. The question no one seems to be able
to answer is: what can the West do about it?
Central and Eastern
European states, including Ukraine and Poland, however, have been aware
of the threat for years. Nina Jankowicz has advised these governments on
the front lines of the information war. The lessons she learnt from
that fight, and from her attempts to get US congress to act, make for
essential reading.
How to Lose the Information War takes
the reader on a journey through five Western governments' responses to
Russian information warfare tactics - all of which have failed. She
journeys into the campaigns the Russian operatives run, and shows how we
can better understand the motivations behind these attacks and how to
beat them. Above all, this book shows what is at stake: the future of
civil discourse and democracy, and the value of truth itself.
