How to Win an Information War

In this intriguing biography by Peter Pomerantsev, the life of WWII propagandist Thomas Sefton Delmer is explored against the backdrop of an information war where truth struggles against deception. Amidst Hitler's dominance in Europe, Delmer ingeniously created the fictional German broadcaster Der Chef, who undermined Nazi propaganda and influenced both soldiers and politicians. Pomerantsev parallels Delmer's narrative with his own experiences in modern propaganda efforts, particularly in response to the invasion of Ukraine, highlighting the enduring relevance of information warfare across time. This compelling account examines the complexities of truth, lies, and the fight for hearts and minds in both past and present conflicts.
