Overview
Peter Pomerantsev's compelling three-book collection explores how information, propaganda, and media power shape modern society. Drawing on hidden wartime history, sharp investigative journalism, and firsthand reporting from the former Soviet Union, Pomerantsev examines the machinery behind persuasion campaigns and disinformation. How to Win an Information War revisits a forgotten World War II propagandist's tactics; This Is Not Propaganda investigates how digital-age messaging manipulates belief across social networks; and Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible offers an immersive portrait of post-Soviet Russia's media-driven culture. Together, these titles sharpen readers' ability to spot manipulation and understand today's information landscape.
About the Books
Each book in this collection approaches the same urgent question — how truth is manufactured, distorted, and weaponized — from a different angle, giving readers a layered understanding of propaganda past and present. How to Win an Information War tells the true story of a British wartime broadcaster who pioneered psychological warfare against Nazi Germany, and draws a direct line from his black-propaganda tactics to the disinformation campaigns of today. This Is Not Propaganda turns to the twenty-first century, following activists, trolls, and spin doctors across Russia, the Philippines, Mexico, and beyond to reveal how social media and networked influence have transformed persuasion into a borderless, always-on operation. Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible, Pomerantsev's acclaimed debut, pulls readers into the surreal world of post-Soviet Russian television, where the author worked as a producer, exposing how oligarchs, gangsters, and the Kremlin itself use spectacle and money to blur the line between fact and performance. Blending rigorous research with vivid, on-the-ground reportage, all three books share Pomerantsev's talent for making complex geopolitics feel immediate and human. Readers move from the trenches of World War II to the war rooms of modern influence campaigns to the television studios of Moscow, tracing a single, urgent thread: the fight to keep truth from becoming just another weapon. This set rewards anyone curious about journalism, politics, or media literacy, offering not just analysis but genuinely gripping storytelling from a writer with rare access and insight.
