Most of the papers included in this volume, except for the editor's
introduction, come from the conference on Visual Propaganda and
Online Radicalization hosted in 2012 by Georgia State University in
conjunction with the U.S. Army War College. They all speak to the
power of visual images, particularly in the online environment, and
the sophistication with which a variety of extremist and terrorist
groups have adapted to the online environment, particularly through
the use of powerful visual images. The strategic point made in
these essays, and which serves as a unifying theme throughout the
collection, is that weaker forces use these materials to great
effect, and to even greater effect when we either underestimate the
power of visual images or fail to develop effective counters. The
unique value offered by these essays is to lay out clearly the ways
in which images work for extremist groups, and to begin the process
of developing effective strategies for responding.
