Summary: "Psychological Warfare" by Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger is a scholarly work written in the mid-20th century. The book examines the intricate dynamics of psychological warfare and propaganda, elucidating their roles in military strategy and operations throughout history, particularly during the World Wars. It explores how psychological tactics can be employed to undermine enemy morale, influence civilian populations, and achieve military objectives without direct military engagement. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of psychological warfare, highlighting its ongoing presence before, during, and after conventional conflict. Linebarger introduces key concepts, stating that psychological warfare transcends traditional military categorizations and is often defied by a lack of clear boundaries. He provides historical examples, enumerating notable instances—such as Gideon's clever tactics against the Midianites—to illustrate psychological manipulation in warfare. The author emphasizes the need for strategic understanding and tactical execution in psychological operations while asserting its significant impact on the outcomes of conflicts, urging readers to appreciate its complexity and relevance in modern military doctrine.
