The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control: The Secret History of the Behavioral Sciences
John D. Markstim weiner@FCDserviceA_llc @poly_metis @TheSpyTheState Ah, I see. Hard to beat THE SEARCH FOR THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE by John Marks. We’ll not see more documents on the subject since Helms, bless his heart, destroyed them on his way out in 1973.

Vietnam: A History
Stanley Karnowtim weiner@tomricks1 Got a book in the works on the 21st-century CIA. I don't know how anyone could top A BRIGHT AND SHINING LIE or Stanley Karnow's VIETNAM. I despair at the fact that DOD, CIA, and FRUS declassifications essentially ceased five years ago.
