The Information in Warfare Working Group (I2WG) of the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) is pleased to present this anthology of selected student work from Academic Year 2009 representing examples of well-written and in-depth analyses on the vital subject of Information as Power. We hope that this effort will serve to inform the broader body of knowledge as the Nation strives to operate effectively within the global information environment and to counter current and potentially future adversaries who exploit it.
