Seller's Description:
264 pages. Second printing. Very good paperback copy. Minor edge wear. Claims to tell the story of the Central Intelligence Agency's secret programme of mind control. The author has utilized newly released government documents as well as behavioural science studies to produce an account of CIA safehouses and brainwashing experiments.
John Marks used a team of lawyers who spent years using the two new laws known as the freedom of information acts passed in the seventies to get the secret CIA documents about their mind control experiments. He and his researchers poured over these documents to create this amazing work! This book points out that the CIA was involved in funding every type of psychological research that was being done since the 1950s. The CIA set up front organizations for research to do it. Some of the most egregious examples had to be done in foreign countries such as the work of the Canadian psychologist, Dr. Cameron. This "doctor" had a theory of "de-patterning" people and "re-patterning" them. To de-pattern them he would use massive of amounts of drugs and electro-shock therapy until his victims were clinging to walls to walk and couldn't even control their bodily functions. This was an expensive, private mental clinic that included a young woman who had auditioned with Elizabeth Taylor for a role in National Velvet. The CIA used a safe house in New York and one in San Fransisco where they kept prostitutes to lure men in for mind control experiments. They used sodium pentathol, THC (marijuana) and LSD. The top CIA scientists even tried to administer LSD to each other without the victim's knowledge. One of these top scientists jumped (or was pushed) from a hotel window the night before he was supposed to be committed to a mental institution because of his severe paranoia and depression. I was amazed years later when I spoke of this book that people said there was a movie about it. Don't be fooled. I am convinced the movie was a clever ploy to keep people from reading this original work by John Marks. This is a must read.
