About this title

From the Publisher:

Fighting the War of Ideas like a Real War is the first title of The Institute of World Politics Press. IWP Press was established to support the curriculum of The Institute of World Politics, an accredited graduate school of statecraft and national security affairs in Washington, D.C.

From the Author:

I developed this book as a course reader for my public diplomacy students at The Institute of World Politics in Washington, DC. The book had to be comprehensive yet concise. Since most of my students are either current or future diplomats, military officers, intelligence officers, think tank analysts and private contractors, I had to address the needs of some of the most sophisticated, influential and hands-on people in the world. May the greater public benefit from this work as well.
