A leading foreign correspondent looks at how social media has transformed the modern battlefield, and how wars are fought

Modern warfare is a war of narratives, where bullets are fired both physically and virtually. Whether you are a president or a terrorist, if you don't understand how to deploy the power of social media effectively you may win the odd battle but you will lose a twenty-first century war. Here, journalist David Patrikarakos draws on unprecedented access to key players to provide a new narrative for modern warfare. He travels thousands of miles across continents to meet a de-radicalized female member of ISIS recruited via Skype, a liberal Russian in Siberia who takes a job manufacturing "Ukrainian" news, and many others to explore the way social media has transformed the way we fight, win, and consume wars-and what this means for the world going forward.

bought these after another set of floating shelves didn't work. these are great and an awesome value!! i've used these in my guest bathroom and also throughout my house. they look great everywhere and are much easier to hang compared to others. my husband was hesitant after the last shelves but these turned out amazing. they are very sturdy and hold a good amount of weight. i would recommend buying these compared to any others.

Great Wall Shelves – Sturdy, Easy to Install, and a Fantastic Value!
Size: 4 pcs: 15.7*5.7, Color: White
I’m really happy with these wall shelves! They’re sturdy, well-built, and hold up perfectly under weight—no concerns about them sagging or bending. The installation was super simple, and everything was clearly labeled with no missing parts, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I love that they come in a set of four, making them perfect for displaying books, plants, or decorative items in multiple spots around the room. The design is sleek and minimal, so they fit in with pretty much any style of decor. Overall, these shelves are a great value, and I would definitely purchase them again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for reliable and easy-to-install shelving!
