Brainwash Summary

Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control by Dominic Streatfeild

What would it take to turn YOU into a suicide bomber

Do heavy metal LPs contain subliminal messages

What was MI6 doing with LSD in the 1950s Does the Unification Church brainwash recruits

Is The Manchurian Candidate fact or fiction

Is it possible to erase memories, or to implant them artificially

How would YOU interrogate a member of Al Qaeda

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.

Brainwash Reviews

'An extraordinary book' - Andrew Marr, Start the Week

'Gripping' - 5 out of 6 stars - Time Out

Meticulously researched and superbly readable - Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, Daily Telegraph

'Streatfield does an important service by bringing this curious phase to our attention again. Vivid descriptions of key moments in the story are interspersed with analysis.' - Christopher Sylvesters, Financial Times

'Marvellously engrossing . . . Streatfield's narrative control cannot be faulted. You know where every story is going, but how it gets there is always a thrill. His research is formidable.' - Bryan Appleyard, The Sunday Times
