How to Win an Information War: The Propagandist Who Outwitted Hitler

"Peter Pomerantsev’s story about Britain’s top covert propagandist during World War II reads like it should be on the fiction shelf. Sefton Delmer created elaborate radio broadcasts that mimicked Nazi broadcasts, but also subverted them by finding ways to slip in information that wasn’t otherwise available to Germans. Pomerantsev is an expert on autocracy and democratic backsliding, and his insights about Delmer’s work 80 years ago still feels fresh and useful today."
