Creating Chaos explores that dark side of statecraft, the covert
use of political warfare in international relations - from its
early practices during the Great Game between the British and
Russian empires, through the Cold War era of ideological
confrontation and forward into the hybrid political warfare of the
21st Century. Creating Chaos presents and illustrates the full body
of covert and deniable political warfare practices, tracing their
historical development and their use by both America and Russia
throughout the Cold War and beyond. Using the most current
information available, Hancock, a "veteran national security
journalist" (Publishers Weekly) examines the evolution of political
warfare tools and tactics in the era of the global Internet and
ubiquitous social media, evaluating their effectiveness and
illustrating the rapidly increasing levels of risk associated with
these new and untested cyberwarfare tools. Virtually no books have
studied actual political warfare beyond the Cold War, and only a
handful have provided any insights into the new and rapidly
evolving practices of the Russian Federation or of the political
warfare aspect of NGOs or other surrogate actors. A companion
volume to Shadow Warfare: The History of America's Undeclared Wars,
Creating Chaos introduces the nature and history of political
action practices, exploring a number of formerly secret American
and Russian hybrid warfare and active measures projects in detail.
With that background for context, it then extends those practices
into the twenty-first century and contemporary events, evaluating
wellestablished practices as they are being used with the newest
tools of the global Internet and social media. It demonstrates the
exponential increase in their effectiveness-and the equally
exponential risk and consequences involved.
