The CIA handbook on mass manipulation: Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798340585103)

Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare is a compendium on subversion developed by the Central Intelligence Agency in 1983 and secretly distributed to Nicaraguan counterrevolutionaries in 1984.
This controversial manual, which at the time ended up before the International Court of Justice, contains the secrets of political destabilization, social manipulation and, in general, dirty wars.
The passage of time has not affected the validity of its contents, which, on the contrary, are extremely current. We live in the era of cognitive wars, of permanent disinformation, of the normalization of state lies, phenomena that this manual can help to understand and counter.
Conceived as the first issue of PsyWars, a series dedicated to "mind wars," the manual is enriched by an introduction by hybrid warfare theorist Emanuel Pietrobon and by other material on psychological operations carried out by the CIA during the Nicaraguan civil war.
