A leading foreign correspondent looks at how social media has transformed the modern battlefield, and how wars are foughtModern warfare is a war of narratives, where bullets are fired both physically and virtually. Whether you are a president or a terrorist, if you don't understand how to deploy the power of social media effectively you may win the odd battle but you will lose a twentyfirst century war. Here, journalist David Patrikarakos draws on unprecedented access to key players to provide a new narrative for modern warfare. He travels thousands of miles across continents to meet a deradicalized female member of ISIS recruited via Skype, a liberal Russian in Siberia who takes a job manufacturing 'Ukrainian' news, and many others to explore the way social media has transformed the way we fight, win, and consume warsand what this means for the world going forward.
