Description
Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President The 2016 US presidential election has left many questions unanswered. Did the Russian trolls and hackers play a significant role in Donald Trump's victory? In this book, Kathleen Hall Jamieson examines the evidence to argue that it is probable that the Russians did influence the outcome. Jamieson draws on a range of sources, including troll posts, polling data, and analyses of how the press used hacked content. She also considers the ways in which social media, the press, candidates, party leaders, and a polarized public all contributed to the Russian efforts. The result is a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that led to Trump's election. The book concludes with a warning: the country is ill-prepared to prevent similar interference in future elections.
