Information Operations Matters: Best Practices
“Well presented and researched, this work will be of interest to individuals researching the role of information operations in American government.”“Leigh Armistead has provided a thoughtful overview of the many facets of information operations.  From computer operations, electronic warfare and the psychological dimension, to the range of tactical and strategic considerations, everything is covered. His trenchant analysis of the great gap between advanced theories and the limited practice of information operations — along with insights into whether this gap will ever close — is revelatory.”“InInformation Operations Matters, Leigh Armistead details the remarkable change in the conduct and use of power in the information age that has given many non-state actors new advantages over major powers.  He takes us back over the past two decades and gives us a front row seat in the policy and strategy deliberations that led to the creation of information operations concepts.  What emerges is a deeper understanding of the power of information operations and a story of policy decisions and missteps that he sees resulting in an inability to leverage U.S. advantages to influence audiences around the world.”
