520 _a"What would it take to turn you into a suicide bomber? Do heavy metal LPs contain subliminal messages? What was M16 doing with LSD in the 1950s? Do religious cults brainwash recruits? Is the Manchurian Candidate fact or fiction? Is it possible to erase memories, or to implant them artifically? How would you interrogate a member of Al Qaeda? With access to formerly classified documentation and interviewees from M15, M16, 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."--Back cover.
