Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In the spring of 2004, army reservist and public affairs officer Steven J. Alvarez waited to be called up as the U.S. military stormed Baghdad and deposed Saddam Hussein. But soon after President Bushs famous PR stunt in which an aircraft carrier displayed the banner Mission Accomplished, th…e dynamics of the war shifted. Selling War recounts how the U.S. military lost the information war in Iraq by engaging the wrong audiencesthat is, the Western mediaby ignoring Iraqi citizens and the wider Arab population, and by paying mere lip service to the directive to Put an Iraqi face on everything. In the absence of effective communication from the U.S. military, the information void was swiftly filled by Al Qaeda and, eventually, ISIS. As a result, efforts to create and maintain a successful, stable country were complicated and eventually frustrated. Alvarez couples his experiences as a public affairs officer in Iraq with extensive research on communication and government relations to expose why communications failed and led to the breakdown on the ground. A revealing glimpse into the inner workings of the militarys PR machine, where personnel become stewards of presidential legacies and keepers of flawed policies, Selling War provides a critical review of the outdated communication strategies executed in Iraq. Alvarezs candid account demonstrates how a fundamental lack of understanding about how to wage an information war has led to the conditions we face now: the rise of ISIS and the return of U.S. forces to Iraq. Recounts how the US military lost the information war in Iraq by engaging the wrong audiences, ignoring Iraqi citizens and the wider Arab population, and playing mere lip service to the directive: put an Iraqi face on everything. Steven J. Alvarez couples his experiences as a public affairs officer in Iraq with extensive research on communication and government relations.
