The book explores the modern threats to Western democracy posed by Russia's use of technology and social media for propaganda. It draws parallels to the Cold War, highlighting the effectiveness of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, established in 1949, which provided uncensored information to Soviet citizens. With one-third of urban adults tuning in, these broadcasts significantly contributed to the decline of the communist regime. The narrative emphasizes the importance of similar strategies in combating contemporary challenges to democratic values.
