We live in an age of subterfuge. Spy agencies pour vast resources
into hacking, leaking, and forging data, often with the goal of
weakening the very foundation of liberal democracy: trust in facts.
Thomas Rid, a renowned expert on technology and national security,
was one of the first to sound the alarm. Even before the 2016
election, he warned that Russian military intelligence was
'carefully planning and timing a high-stakes political campaign' to
disrupt the democratic process. But as crafty as such so-called
active measures have become, they are not new. In this astonishing
journey through a century of secret psychological war, Rid reveals
for the first time some of history's most significant operations -
many of them nearly beyond belief. A White Russian ploy backfires
and brings down a New York police commissioner; a KGB-engineered,
anti-Semitic hate campaign creeps back across the Berlin Wall; the
CIA backs a fake publishing empire, run by a former Wehrmacht
U-boat commander that produces Germany's best jazz magazine.
