The Cold War was fought with armies, nuclear arsenals, intelligence services-and information.
The Information War examines how the United States and Soviet Union attempted to shape public opinion, political behavior, and international perceptions from the opening years of the Cold War through the collapse of the Soviet system.
Drawing on declassified records, diplomatic documents, congressional investigations, presidential directives, and archival material, wes reconstruct the machinery behind Cold War propaganda and psychological operations: the Voice of America and USIA, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, CIA relationships with journalists and cultural organizations, Soviet active measures and disinformation, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, Project MOCKINGBIRD, Operation Northwoods, Vietnam-era psychological operations, the Space Race, Berlin, Afghanistan, race and decolonization, and the information struggle surrounding the final years of the Soviet Union.
The analysis also separates documented programs from later mythology. It distinguishes propaganda from disinformation, overt public diplomacy from covert influence, proposals from authorized operations, audience reach from actual persuasion, and institutional activity from claims of political causation.
Rather than presenting the Cold War as a simple contest between truth and propaganda, The Information War shows how credibility, censorship, journalism, covert action, broadcasting, culture, technological spectacle, and political legitimacy became weapons in a global struggle over what populations believed-and whom they trusted.
A documented history of the battle for the minds, perceptions, and political loyalties of the Cold War world.
