Pomerantsev is emerging as the pre-eminent war reporter of our
time. Observer From one of our leading experts on disinformation,
the incredible true story of the complex and largely forgotten WWII
propagandist Thomas Sefton Delmer - and what we can learn from him
today. In the summer of 1941, Hitler ruled Europe from the Atlantic
to the Black Sea. Britain was struggling to combat the powerful
Nazi propaganda machine, which crowed victory and smeared its
enemies. But inside Germany, there was one notable voice of dissent
from the very heart of the military machine, Der Chef, a German
whose radio broadcasts skilfully questioned Nazi doctrine. He had
access to high-ranking German military secrets and spoke of
internal rebellion. His listeners included German soldiers and
citizens. American officials and even the President tried to to
decipher what it meant for the future of the war. But what these
audiences didn't know was that Der Chef was a fiction, a character
created by the British propagandist Thomas Sefton Delmer, just one
player in Delmer's vast counter-propaganda cabaret, a unique weapon
in the war. As author Peter Pomerantsev uncovers Delmer's story, he
is called into a wartime propaganda effort of his own: the global
response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. This book is the story of
Delmer and his modern-day investigator, as they each embark on
their own quest to seduce and inspire the passions of supporters
and enemies, and to turn the tide of information wars.
