BOOKS AT THE INSTITUTE is pleased to host an evening with Thomas Kent, journalist and expert on Russian affairs and propaganda, presenting his new book, “The Propaganda Manual of the Ukraine War: Information Warfare by Russia, Ukraine, and Western Nations: Lessons Learned for Future Conflicts.”Book signing and light reception after the program. Advance registration is appreciated.
Kent reveals a hidden front where belief – not just firepower – decides outcomes. Beyond the familiar story of Kremlin lies and domestic suppression, he argues the information war is far broader: Russians must be convinced victory is still possible, Ukrainians must keep faith they can outlast a larger foe, and Western publics must be persuaded support is worth the cost without sending troops. He explores forged websites, hacked broadcasts, manipulated algorithms, covert influence campaigns, and even Kremlin-linked violence in Europe – all engineered to shape perception as much as cause damage. Kent weighs both sides’ successes and failures, offering sharp recommendations for fighting – and defending against – propaganda in modern warfare.
