Information War 1st edition

In Information War, former United States Information Agency employee Nancy Snow describes how U. S. propaganda efforts and covert operations are expanding more rapidly today than at any other time in U. S. history, as the Bush administration attempts to increase U. S. dominance by curbing dissent and controlling opinion. Snow lays out the propaganda techniques that the government uses to control dissent in the twenty-first century, spotlights the key players and their spinmeistering abilities in the information war, and describes memorable "leaks" in the Administration?s efforts to conduct stealth propaganda programs and control information at home. Ultimately she shows that dissent and true democracy are the early casualties of these policies.
