Information is a two edged sword that can both help and hinder modern society. The Art of Information Warfare is the first common-sense primer on the subject written for those interested in or requiring a practical orientation to the threats and issues associated with today's Information Society from military, corporate, and technical perspectives. Unlike many other publications and reports on the subject, The Art of Information Warfare is written in plain, simple English and avoids sensationalizing an already "hot" topic in the media today by accurately presenting the facts and issues that affect everyone... not just the technoratti or power users.
