Initially, when I received this book, I felt that I could learn something new from it. There are some good takeaways, to be sure, but the book teaches you that to succeed, you must know. That's why I don't recommend this book, but recommend it. It does go over the history of Sefton Delmer, and his knowledge of the man, his exploits are very well documented in this book, about countering Nazi propaganda in WW2 Germany. The book is full of good anecdotes and paints the picture of a man who knew how to break people free (somewhat; it wasn't always effective, especially after the attempt at assassinating Hitler) and get them to see the absurdity of the Nazi regime, and so on. It's good and offers some valuable thoughts on how to win the information war, a skill that liberals need to learn to fight more effectively. But like the Nazi regime, Trump 2.0 has its cracks (more than Hitler ever had), so if the liberals do better, they can counter the extreme right-wing media and turn the tide. 5 out of 5 stars.
