Synopsis

Foreword by H.R. McMaster, Former US National Security Advisor

We all live in an information rich environment. It is congested, complex and highly competitive. Its mastery, if such a thing is possible, is becoming central to military operations. But the West has been slow to adapt; ISIS, AQ, Russia, Iran, China - all have recognised and resourced information to grow support, demonise their opponents and sow seeds of distrust in western democracies. And those same democracies have become imperilled from within by the manipulation and faking of information to distort and deceive.Steve Tatham spent nearly 25 years as an Information and Psychological Operations Officer. From southern Afghanistan to eastern Europe. From West Africa to Somalia and across the recruiting grounds of ISIS and AQ he has seen, and in many instances, run Information Operations. He provides an insider’s view of the truth and mythology of Information Operations and with his unique access across the global community he provides a very different perspective to one of the biggest international news stories of the decade - Cambridge Analytica, Trump and the BREXIT referendum. Like so much in Information Operations, all is not what it seemed.
