''The CIA exposé to end all CIA exposés.'' —New York A 'Manchurian Candidate' is an unwitting assassin brainwashed and programmed to kill. In this book, former State Department officer John Marks tells the explosive story of the CIA's highly secret program of experiments in mind control. His curiosity first aroused by information on a puzzling suicide. Marks worked from thousands of pages of newly released documents as well as interviews and behavioral science studies, producing a book that 'accomplished what two Senate committees could not' (Senator Edward Kennedy).
(5-stars-review of J. M. Hushour, DEC5, 2016 @goodreads):
This is a hilarious and surprisingly thoughtful account of the CIA's attempts to control people's mind using LSD, various other psychedelics, and crazy shit like hypnotism. Marks was able to complete the book after unwavering determination (and a team of lawyers) that helped him get a bunch of stuff (the stuff that those involved hadn't destroyed) declassified and scads of interviews with those willing, to fill in the blanks. What emerges is a zany story of CIA agents trick-tripping their colleagues with acid, volunteering themselves as guinea pigs, and how grant-greedy academia served the Agency for years. The last is the saddest part: psychiatric/psychological academics agreeing to go along with this insane shit to get funding. It will definitely change your view of the academic world, which is little changed, just replace "terror" with "mind control" and you get basically the same thing. - Anyway, this book is a delightful read, with accounts and anecdotes of all the Agency's drug shenanigans and their subsequent exposure.
