Description
Today’s world is in flux, with competition between the great powers back on the agenda and governments around the world turning to secret statecraft and the hidden hand to navigate uncertain waters. From poisonings and electoral interference to subversion and cyber sabotage, states increasingly operate in the shadows, while social media creates new avenues for disinformation on a mass scale. Rory Cormac examines this covert action, perhaps the most sensitive and controversial form of state activity, and shows how its supposed secrecy has given way to surprising prominence. In an enthralling narrative packed with real-world examples, he reveals how these dark arts are shaping the world and argues that understanding why and how states wield them has never been more important.
