A persuasive new book on disinformation as a geopolitical strategy.

The New Yorker

How to Lose the Information War is required reading to understand the shape of the 2020s. It's a window into a reality we all kind of sensed, but lacked words or understanding to really process.

Forbes

[Nina Jankowicz's] suggested tactics to help win the information war are thought provoking; it's a complex and difficult path forward but one vital to preserve democracy and truth itself.

Brian Maye, The Irish Times

[How to Lose the Information War] offers an excellent guide on the [information warfare] lessons that should have been learned from our European partners provides a pathway forward.

Diplomatic Courier

If there is just one point to glean from Nina Jankowicz's How to Lose the Information War, it is this: The threats that disinformation campaigns present democracies do not occur in a vacuum. The intentionally false or distorted information flowing out of places like Russia and China, and aimed at nations from North America to Africa to Europe, is part of a larger effort to prey upon divisions, especially within democratic societies. For that reason, whatever strategy a nation employs to counter bots, trolls, and outright lies must go together with a robust civic renewal effort. Otherwise, the Woodrow Wilson Center scholar writes, democracies will play a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.
