Notes
Philip Seib is Professor of Journalism, Public Diplomacy, and International Relations at the University of Southern California.
“Using exactly the right examples ranging from Homer to modern
China’s ‘Three Warfares’, Professor Seib takes us on convincing and
captivating analytic journey, proving again that Seib is today’s
master at understanding how information shapes every part of our
lives.”
Ambassador Marc Grossman, Former Under Secretary of State for
Political Affairs, U.S. State Department “Philip Seib shows himself
yet again to be one of the most insightful observers of our
contemporary age. In elegant prose, masterful use of historical
vignettes, and trenchant analysis, he demonstrates how war and
information are inseparable. The unrelenting information revolution
and conflicts of the twenty-first century are occurring in tandem;
to understand these new challenges, read this book.”
William Inboden, Clements Center for National Security, The
University of Texas at Austin “Seib's new book provides an array of
insightful chapters describing and analyzing conflicts, when
(dis)information becomes a weapon in itself.”
