About This Book

The work presents a practitioner's overview of psychological warfare, combining doctrinal exposition, historical case studies, and practical techniques for planning and conducting influence operations. It explains conceptual foundations such as objectives, audiences, means of communication, and organizational requirements, then surveys methods including propaganda materials, covert and overt measures, and coordination with military and civilian agencies. The author draws on field experience to illustrate operational problems, lessons learned, and ethical and policy dilemmas. The final sections offer recommendations for doctrine, training, and adaptation to changing political and technological conditions.

Transcriber's Notes:

The following changes have been made:

  1. In the context of "the unprofessional guttersnipe Hitler was ruining the wonderful German Army in amateurish campaigns" stood "raining" instead of "ruining".
  2. The list of further works by the same author was moved from the beginning to the end of the book.
  3. In the index, the reference for the entry "Indonesia, fighting in," was changed from 257-258 to 257-259, and reference for the entry "Results of PsyWar," from 327 to 307.

Retained error: While the list of charts mentions a "Chart X", no such chart was contained in the book. The entry has been retained, though.
