"The Manchurian Candidate" was fiction. This, however, is fact. This could be the most terrifying true story ever to emerge regarding the U.S. national security state - the first book ever written about the CIA's mind control programs. The book became an instant classic, in part because the CIA bought up all the copies it could, simply to keep them off the shelves and out of the hands of the public. In these pages, author Walter Bowart uncovered a huge government "cryptocracy" dedicated to controlling and manipulating human minds. Through hypnosis and drugs, ordinary citizens became CIA "zombies": human computers, spies, trained assassins, and couriers with no control over, or memory of, their actions. Only unexplained memory gaps, multiple personality disorders, or other "mistakes" in programming revealed that something was amiss. Could you be one of the thousands of people ready to be "triggered" into action by some seemingly random cue? Bowart's devastating account includes top secret documents outlining the cryptocracy's cold-blooded programs, as well as startling new evidence linking "assassins" Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray, and Sirhan Sirhan to Operation Mind Control.

The bestselling author of All the Shah’s Men and The Brothers tells the astonishing story of the man who oversaw the CIA’s secret drug and mind-control experiments of the 1950s and ’60s. The visionary chemist Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA’s master magician and gentlehearted torturer—the agency’s “poisoner in chief.” As head of the MK-ULTRA mind control project, he directed brutal experiments at secret prisons on three continents. He made pills, powders, and potions that could kill or maim without a trace—including some intended for Fidel Castro and other foreign leaders. He paid prostitutes to lure clients to CIA-run bordellos, where they were secretly dosed with mind-altering drugs. His experiments spread LSD across the United States, making him a hidden godfather of the 1960s counterculture. For years he was the chief supplier of spy tools used by CIA officers around the world. Stephen Kinzer, author of groundbreaking books about U.S. clandestine operations, draws on new documentary research and original interviews to bring to life one of the most powerful unknown Americans of the twentieth century. Gottlieb’s reckless experiments on “expendable” human subjects destroyed many lives, yet he considered himself deeply spiritual. He lived in a remote cabin without running water, meditated, and rose before dawn to milk his goats. During his twenty-two years at the CIA, Gottlieb worked in the deepest secrecy. Only since his death has it become possible to piece together his astonishing career at the intersection of extreme science and covert action. Poisoner in Chief reveals him as a clandestine conjurer on an epic scale.

Walter Bowart (1939 - 2007) was a journalist and a prominent figure in the New York City counter-culture of the 1960s. He was influential in promoting intellectual freedom through his work as editor of "The East Village Other" and through his Freedom of Thought Foundation. Bowart's "Operation Mind Control: The Cryptocracy's Plan to Psychocivilize You (Expanded Researcher's Edition)" is a classic in the annals of conspiracy research. It is a disturbing account of the secret use of mind control technology, by a secret government (or "cryptocracy"), with an aim to pacifying whole populations and furthering private global-investment strategies. Meticulously researched and well-written, it remains - even today - one of the best books on the topic. The original version of "Operation Mind Control" was the first book printed in the United States to explore the murky world of CIA mind control. This theme is common in Hollywood movies today but, at the time (1978), the topic was highly charged, top-secret, and extremely dangerous to research. The book quickly disappeared, because the CIA did not want the public to know the extent and details of its mind control programs (they actually bought up all of the copies that had been printed - an entire warehouse full). The book also began vanishing from libraries across the nation, and virtually every copy available in bookstores disappeared. Very few copies survived this purge. Those that remained became quite rare and expensive. In 1994, Bowart added several more chapters to the original book, which had focused primarily on the use of hypnosis and drugs (especially LSD variants) to create mind-controlled assassins. This additional material, which effectively doubled the book's size to almost 700 pages, explores even stranger aspects of mind control, such as the use of "paranormal" memes like "alien abduction" and "missing time." After writing the researcher's edition, Bowart retreated from the scene, having supposedly been threatened by Men in Black with "termination with extreme prejudice." This special 2014 reprint includes a Foreword by Richard Condon, author of "The Manchurian Candidate."
