      Summer 1941, Hitler and his allies rule Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. But inside Germany, there is a notable voice of dissent, Der Chef, whose radio broadcasts skilfully question Nazi doctrine. What listeners don't know is that Der Chef is a fiction, a character created by the British propagandist Sefton Delmer. As Peter Pomerantsev uncovers Delmer's fascinating lost story, he is called into a wartime propaganda effort of his own: the global response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine.[Bokinfo].

      A journey into the glittering, surreal heart of 21st century Russia: into the lives of Hells Angels convinced they are messiahs, professional killers with the souls of artists, bohemian theatre directors turned Kremlin puppet-masters, supermodel sects, post-modern dictators and oligarch revolutionaries. This is a world erupting with new money and new power, changing so fast it breaks all sense of reality, where life is seen as a whirling, glamorous masquerade where identities can be switched and all values are changeable. It is home to a new form of authoritarianism, far subtler than 20th century strains, and which is rapidly expanding to challenge the global order. An extraordinary book - one which is as powerful and entertaining as it is troubling - Nothing is True and Everything is Possible offers a wild ride into this political and ethical vacuum.

      De belangrijkste trend van de afgelopen jaren is de opkomst - en ontwikkeling - van digitale oorlogsvoering. In dit technologische tijdperk is verslaggeving van groter belang geworden dan de werkelijke militaire actie. Het resultaat hiervan is een overvloed aan leugens, foute grappen, absurditeit en bangmakerij - een circussfeer die als doel heeft ons te verwarren en ons idee van waarheid te ondermijnen. Dit is geen propaganda is een tocht achter vijandelijke linies in een eindeloze, internationale informatieoorlog. In zijn kenmerkende stijl - bij vlagen analytisch, poëtisch, luguber en grappig - legt Peter Pomerantsev de contouren van deze nieuwe wereldorde bloot. Hij leert digitale misleidingstactieken van activisten in Servië, Mexicaanse drugsbaronnen, Fox News-presentatoren en van de KGB-officieren die zijn eigen familie op de vlucht joegen. Terwijl hij deze absurde maar cruciale lessen tot zich neemt, richt Pomerantsev zich op de toekomst en stelt hij manieren voor om de democratie juist te versterken. Dit is een noodzakelijk boek om onze nieuwe werkelijkheid beter te leren begrijpen.
