The Need For A United States Government Capacity To Analyze And Counter Foreign Perception Management Operations: Part I, Todd Levanthal
The Need For A United States Government Capacity To Analyze And Counter Foreign Perception Management Operations: Part I, Todd Levanthal
International Bulletin of Political Psychology
This begins a three-part series by Mr. Todd Leventhal who from January 1987 to May 1996 was Program Officer for Countering Disinformation at the United States Information Agency (USIA.)
