Product Review
"Breathless . . . reads like a spy thriller."--The Guardian (UK)
"Marvelously engrossing. This book is a series of wonderfully detailed and cleverly told stories, each of which debunks the brainwashing myth. Streatfeild's narrative control cannot be faulted. His research is formidable."--The Sunday Times (UK)
"An expansive and multifaceted exploration of brainwashing in its multitude of forms."--Booklist
Praise for Cocaine:
"[Streatfeild] is an great storyteller . . . a great read."--The Seattle Times
"A breezy history . . . often arresting, sometimes sobering."--The Washington Post
"[Streatfeild's] smartly woven narrative winningly expands the narcotic's résumé beyond overdose horror stories."--GQ
"A thrilling ride through exotic territory. Streatfeild's animated writing style . . . makes for an exciting read."--Time Out New York
Product Description
Behind the front lines of every war in the world, prisoners are forced to sit for interrogation: manipulated, coerced, and sometimes tortured--often without ever being touched. Brainwash is a history of the methods intended to destroy and reconstruct the minds of captives, to extract information, convert dissidents, and lead peaceful men to kill and be killed.
With access to formerly classified documentation and interviews from the CIA, U.S. Army, MI5, MI6, and British Intelligence Corps, Dominic Streatfeild traces the evolution of mind control from its origins in the Cold War to the height of today's war on terror. Vivid and disturbing, Brainwash is essential insight into the modern practice of interrogation and torture.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control (Hardcover)
I actually checked this book out at the local library for a paper on hypnosis. Needless to say, I was impressed. Extremely well written. Even my friend, who has never picked up a book for fun in his life, picked this book up and ended up asking to borrow it. Get this book. It's not as boring as you may think a book like this may be. Read, the first chapter, and I promise you won't want to put it down.
