Political Warfare: Strategies for Combating China's Plan to 'Win Without Fighting'

TL;DR — A Marine Corps University study of Chinese political warfare — influence operations short of armed conflict.

Marine Corps University Press, 217 pages.

Gershaneck’s subject is the doctrine of winning without fighting — the PRC’s use of influence operations, legal warfare, media and united-front work to achieve objectives below the threshold that would trigger a military response.

⚠️ Written from an explicit policy posture, as the subtitle announces. Read for the taxonomy of methods it assembles; treat the threat assessment as argument. Pairs with Understanding the Chinese Communist Party’s Approach to Cyber-Enabled Economic Warfare and ATP 7-100.3: Chinese Tactics.
