Brainwash:
The Secret History of Mind Control
Dominic Streatfeild (Hodder and Stoughton)
Marvellously engrossing . . . Streatfeild's narrative
control cannot be faulted. His research is formidable.' Bryan
Appleyard, The Sunday Times
With access to formerly classified documentation and interviewees
from MI5, MI6, the CIA, the US Army and British Intelligence
Corps, Brainwash traces the evolution of the world’s
most secret psychological procedure. From its origins
in the Cold War to the height of today’s war on terror,
from religious cults to British interrogation techniques
in Northern Ireland, from CIA experiments with LSD and magic
mushrooms to Guantanamo Bay, Dominic Streatfield delves deeply
into this shocking and controversial subject.
Dominic Streatfeild is a writer and documentary maker who
specialises in military and security issues. His television
work includes BBC2’s Exocet – detailing
MI6 and the SAS’s clandestine war for the Falkland
Islands – and the Discovery Channel’s series Age
of Terror, examining the roots of political violence.
Airing in over 100 countries, Age of Terror included
interviews with members of 18 terrorist groups including
FARC, the IRA, The Shining Path and Hezbollah.
