Essential reading for cybersecurity professionals, security analysts, policy experts, decision-makers, activists, and law enforcement!
During the Arab Spring movements, the world witnessed the power of social media to dramatically shape events.

Also highlighting dramatic case studies drawn from the headlines, this crucial book is a must-read.
