Information wars : how we lost the global battle against disinformation & what we can do about it
Stengel, Richard2019
Books
During the final three years of the Obama administration, Richard Stengel, the former editor of Time magazine and an Under Secretary of State, was on the front lines of the new global information war. At the time, he was the single person in government tasked with unpacking, disproving and combating both ISIS's messaging and Russian disinformation. Then, in 2016, as the presidential election unfolded, Stengel watched as Donald Trump used disinformation himself, weaponizing the grievances of Americans who felt overlooked. In a narrative that is by turns dramatic and eye-opening, 'Information Wars' walks readers through these often frustrating battles.
