Psychological Warfare

"Psychological Warfare" by Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger is a detailed exploration of how using minds can be as important as using weapons in war. This book looks back at different times in history, like the World Wars, to show how messing with people's heads, also known as psychological warfare, can change the whole game. It's all about how to make the enemy lose hope, get regular people on your side, and win battles without always fighting head-on. The book kicks off by explaining that this kind of warfare is always happening, not just when there's a big war. It teaches that understanding the sneaky ways of influencing people, like Gideon's tricks against the Midianites, and using them wisely can really swing things in a fight, making it a must-know part of military thinking today.
