Description: "This book discusses the decisive role that information and information strategy now plays in modern warfare. Information strategy is developed here as a new kind of power that can stand on its own as a distinct, increasingly influential tool of statecraft." "Three principal themes are explored in this volume. First, the rise of the "information domain" itself, and of information strategy as an equal partner alongside traditional military strategy. Second, the need to consider the organizational implications of information strategy. Third, the realm of what has been called "information operations." Throughout this book, information operations is portrayed as comprising all manner of conduits for information transmission, but also as being critically dependent upon good content."--Jacket.
