Information operations warfare and the hard reality of soft power

Fourteen American and Australian educators and practitioners--most associated with the Joint Forces Staff College, others with various branches of the U.S. or Australian national security communities--contribute six chapters on information operations (IO)--the use of modern technology to deliver critical information and influential content in an effort to shape perceptions, manage opinions, and control behavior in national security affairs. Originally conceived as a textbook for Joint Forces Staff College students, the text traces the history of IO from a doctrinal standpoint and with regard to organizational changes and educational efforts, and covers the capabilities and related activities of information warfare.
