A classic work, Munitions of the mind traces how propaganda has formed part of the fabric of conflict since the dawn of warfare, and how in its broadest definition it has also been part of a process of persuasion at the heart of human communication. Stone monuments, coins, broadsheets, paintings and pamphlets, posters, radio, film, television, computers and satellite communications - throughout history, propaganda has had access to ever more complex and versatile media. This third edition has been revised and expanded to include a new preface, new chapters on the 1991 Gulf War, information age conflict in the post-Cold War era, and the world after the terrorist attacks of September 11. It also offers a new epilogue and a comprehensive bibliographical essay. The extraordinary range of this book, as well as the original and cohesive analysis it offers, make it an ideal text for all international courses covering media and communications studies, cultural history, military history and politics. It will also prove fascinating and accessible to the general reader.

This monograph examines the current Department of Defense approach to the integration of information operations on the future battlefield. Technology has become one of the driving factors as the military enters into the twenty first century. With regards to this focus, each separate military service is capitalizing on information technological advances but not with a joint focus or shared desired endstate. Information technology and systems are an integral part to the emerging field of information operations, but without the joint efforts of each service and a central controlling element the military applications of information operations will never meet their intended purpose. This monograph first explains what information warfare and operations are along with their military applications according to each service: the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force. Secondly, this paper looks at what the emerging joint doctrine states concerning the definition, employment and integration of information warfare on the future battlefield. This portion of the paper examines joint doctrine concerning the integration of information operations at the operational and strategic levels with examples of how information warfare was conducted in recent deployments in Somalia, Bosnia and the Gulf War. Thirdly, the paper analyzes the potential problems determined from comparing the different service approaches to information warfare as opposed to an integrated joint approach. Lastly, this paper explores the possible military need to create either a functional command responsible for the integration of joint informational warfare or simply maintaining the current C2 structure and limiting the focus to C2W for further integration of information operations training and doctrinal employment. The recommendations proposed in this monograph are centered on developing an integrated joint approach to the training, doctrine and employment of information operations.
