Thomas Kent has published a new monograph with the American Foreign Policy Council titled The Propaganda Manual of the Ukraine War.  The book seeks to capture the development of Russian, Ukrainian, and Western information operations in the course of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.  Kent describes the nature of each faction’s information strategy and seeks to evaluate where each party’s approach has been successful and fallen short.

Drawing on extensive research and decades of experience studying Russia and international media, Thomas Kent reveals how Russia, Ukraine, and Western governments employ disinformation, psychological operations (PSYOP), cyber warfare, covert influence campaigns, media manipulation, strategic communications, and digital propaganda to influence both domestic and international audiences.

Kent analyzes the propaganda successes and failures of each participant in the Ukraine conflict while offering practical recommendations for defensive and offensive information operations by Western countries. Essential reading for anyone interested in geopolitics, international security, Russia, Ukraine, NATO, intelligence, cyber conflict, journalism, and the future of information warfare, The Propaganda Manual of the Ukraine War explains how the struggle to control information has become one of the defining weapons of the twenty-first century.
