Reviews

'Disinformation is a plague that resists efforts to eradicate it. Truth - a foundation of democratic discourse - is its principal victim. Countering Online Propaganda and Extremism presents thoughtful and comprehensive analyses of this phenomenon written by an all-star, multidisciplinary roster of experts. For anyone who is teaching courses about these matters or is just personally committed to preserving open and free debate about important issues, this book is essential reading.'-- Philip Seib,University of Southern California, USA

Authors reveal well how the use of digital technologies as disinformation and propaganda tools have started to threaten the global order. The book is a page-turner.'--Matti Saarelainen, Director of The European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats, Helsinki, Finland
