Features: The burgeoning global military revolution is profoundly transforming the nature of modern warfare and military development models. Notably, psychological warfare, this ancient form of conflict, is playing an increasingly prominent role in safeguarding national security and achieving victory in wars, exhibiting a series of new characteristics. Major countries' militaries are adapting to the changing times by adopting various measures to shift industrial-era psychological warfare into the information age. In the process of advancing China's military transformation, strengthening research on information-age psychological warfare has become an urgent task for our armed forces. This book strives to unify theory with practice and combine history with the present, systematically introducing and explaining key issues such as the significance, distinctive features, theoretical innovations, technological applications, system development, education and training, and protective mechanisms of information-age psychological warfare. It also offers reflections on enhancing the development of psychological warfare in our armed forces.
