Disinformation by Gen. Mahai

This non-fiction book, published in 2013, provides a first-hand account of the Soviet-bloc's use of "disinformation" as a warfare tactic. Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West, and Rychlak document how the Russian word dezinformatsiya was coined by Joseph Stalin and subsequently employed to create false histories and subtle slanders. The authors reveal how these campaigns have been used to undermine Western institutions, manipulate public opinion, and promote terrorism. The book argues that understanding these strategies is crucial for making sense of the modern world's complexities
