Thanks for the recommendation. I hadn't heard about this book, and I'm always looking for new books that help frame problems better. Just based off what I saw regarding this, its probably not the best as a starter book. It can really be tough with this type of material because if you don't have a solid practical or rigorous approach to both logic and argumentation, and can reasonably make parallels or see where it leads, you can easily fall into traps that are plausible but may be flawed/false. You really have to approach this type of material critically and assume its false until you can find rational and reasonable support for what may be said. Reading material in this genre, like you would a leisure book would be a mistake, since most tend to internalize words/concepts like movies after speed picks up, and of course children that have not yet reached the age of reason shouldn't be reading this type of material since they would be developmentally incapable of recognizing any potential lies for what they might be. Not having read the book yet I can't yet vouch for the content, but it definitely looks interesting, and worth a read, at least for me. You really have to know the philosophy and tactics that are pushed in this area in order to recognize it enough to defend against it. There was a very interesting recent publication in USMC University on Political Warfare which has some overlap.
