About this book

Thomas Rid traces organized disinformation from earlier intelligence operations to contemporary digital campaigns. He examines how fabricated material, genuine documents and strategic leaks can be combined to distort public understanding. Historical research and conversations with former intelligence practitioners place recent interference in democratic politics within a longer tradition of deliberately manipulating trust in facts.

About the author

Thomas Rid

Active Measures traces disinformation from the nineteen twenties to the present through archives in several languages, and argues that the technique is old, that democracies have used it too, and that the internet made it cheap rather than new.
