These days, everyone understands the prevalence and dangers of disinformation and misinformation….but how do these things differ and exactly what are they? More importantly, how is false information being used to influence the beliefs and actions of Americans, and especially during election time?
Barbara McQuade is a former U.S. Attorney, a Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, a legal analyst for MSNBC, and a co-host of the popular podcast: #Sistersinlaw heard on all podcast platforms.
There’s an urgency to this book which provides a thorough and complete look at a topic and impact that can turn an election.
Barb writes about how authoritarians gain their influence and power and how they’ve done it for centuries; how disinformation is used and who is most vulnerable to it.
Most importantly, what can we do about it….
This is an interview you don’t want to miss.
Attack from Within is available at bookstores and from Amazon.com
