About this ebook
Psychological War explores the often-underestimated role of manipulating an adversary's mind in military conflicts.
The book argues that influencing perceptions and emotions can be as crucial as physical force.
It examines the history, theory, and ethical implications of psychological warfare, revealing how tactics like propaganda and deception have been used to sway battlefield outcomes.
For example, cognitive biases, like the tendency to seek information confirming existing beliefs, can be exploited to reinforce misinformation.
