Information warfare
Most of these techniques were developed during World War II or earlier, and have been
used to some degree in every conflict since. Daniel Lerner was in the OSS (the
predecessor to the American CIA) and in his book, attempts to analyze how effective
the various strategies were. He concludes that there is little evidence that any of them
were dramatically successful, except perhaps surrender instructions over loudspeakers
when victory was imminent. It should be noted, though, that measuring the success or
failure of psychological warfare is very hard, as the conditions are very far from being a
controlled experiment.
Lerner also divides psychological warfare operations into three categories:
White propaganda (Omissions and Emphasis): Truthful and not strongly biased,
where the source of information is acknowledged.
Grey propaganda (Omissions, Emphasis and Racial/Ethnic/Religious Bias):
Largely truthful, containing no information that can be proven wrong; the source
is not identified.
Black propaganda (Commissions of falsification): Inherently deceitful, information
given in the product is attributed to a source that was not responsible for its
creation.
Lerner points out that grey and black operations ultimately have a heavy cost, in that the
target population sooner or later recognizes them as propaganda and discredits the
source. He writes, "This is one of the few dogmas advanced by Sykewarriors that is
likely to endure as an axiom of propaganda: Credibility is a condition of persuasion.
Before you can make a man do as you say, you must make him believe what you say."
Consistent with this idea, the Allied strategy in World War II was predominantly one of
truth (with certain exceptions).
China
By Country
According to U.S. military analysts, attacking the enemy’s mind is an important element
of the People's Republic of China's military strategy. This type of warfare is rooted in the
Chinese Stratagems outlined by Sun Tzu in The Art of War and Thirty-Six Stratagems.
In its dealings with its rivals, China is expected to utilize Marxism to mobilize communist
