Reviews
In Cyberwar, Kathleen Jamieson Hall details with intelligent research the impact the cyberattacks had on democratic dialogue and in shaping both the media and political narrative of the 2016 presidential election. The book confirms what DHS and DNI refused to conclude: the Russian information warfare campaign helped to discredit Hillary Clinton and ultimately progress the electoral outcome in the election of Donald Trump. * Donna Brazile, former Interim Chair of the Democratic National Committee * Kathleen Hall Jamieson mounts a strong challenge to the conventional wisdom that the Russia interference in the 2016 presidential race did not affect the outcome. Drawing on her expertise in presidential elections and how messages are received, she shows how the hacked emails influenced the media's focus and traces the powerful synergies between what the trolls were saying and what voters were ready to believe. It is hard to imagine a better application of careful scholarship to a central question for our country and deserves a wide readership. * Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University * Kathleen Hall Jamieson has performed a great service not just for politicians, journalists and curious citizens, but most important, for American democracy, by taking a scholar's approach to answering one of the most urgent and gnawing questions of our time: how did Russia try to influence the U.S. elections of 2016 and how much difference did that make? This is a must-read for everyone who cares about the future of the American electoral system. * Judy Woodruff, Anchor and Managing Editor, The PBS NewsHour * In her breakthrough new book Cyberwar, Kathleen Hall Jamieson applies her legendary skills to a forensic examination of the Russian hackers, trolls and bots who reshaped American public opinion through social media platforms, using data analytics to achieve maximum impact. Her masterful study provides a compelling answer to the question of whether Russia likely helped elect an American President. * Andrea Mitchell, NBC News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent MSNBC Anchor * Illuminating, timely, Cyberwar is a major step forward in trying to understand the 'new' media order ... Jamieson provides perhaps the first authoritative account and synthesis of the copious amounts of data surrounding the 2016 attack ... the result is perhaps the clearest-cut glimpse of what an information war looks like... Cyberwar is more powerful for what it is not... * Alexander Kimburg, Nature *
