520 "From one of our leading experts on disinformation, this
inventive biography of the rogue WWII propagandist Thomas
Sefton Delmer confronts hard questions about the nature of
information war: what if you can't fight lies with truth?
Can a propaganda war ever be won? In the summer of 1941,
Hitler ruled Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea.
Britain was struggling to combat his powerful propaganda
machine, crowing victory and smearing his enemies as liars
and manipulators over his frequent radio speeches, blasted
out on loudspeakers and into homes. British claims that
Hitler was dangerous had little impact against this wave
of disinformation. Except for the broadcasts of someone
called Der Chef, a German who questioned Nazi doctrine. He
had access to high-ranking German military secrets and
spoke of internal rebellion. His listeners included German
soldiers and citizens, as well as politicians in
Washington DC who were debating getting into the war. And-
-most importantly--Der Chef was a fiction. He was a
character created by the British propagandist Thomas
Sefton Delmer, a unique weapon in the war. Then, as author
Peter Pomerantsev seeks to tell Delmer's story, he is
called into a wartime propaganda effort of his own: the US
response to the invasion of Ukraine. In flashes forward to
the present day, Pomerantsev weaves in what he's learning
from Delmer as he seeks to fight against Vladimir Putin's
tyranny and lies. This book is the story of Delmer and his
modern investigator, as they each embark on their own
quest to manipulate the passions of supporters and enemies,
and to turn the tide of an information war, an
extraordinary history that is informing the present before
our eyes"--|cProvided by publisher.
