    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>What would it take to turn </em>you<em> into a suicide bomber? </em><br/><br/><br/><br/><em>How would</em> you<em> interrogate a member of Al Qaeda?</em> <br/><br/><br/><br/>With access to formerly classified documentation and interviews from the CIA, the U.S. Army, MI5, MI6, and the British Intelligence Corps, acclaimed journalist Dominic Streatfeild traces the history of the world's most secret psychological procedure. <br/><br/><br/><br/>From the cold war to the height of today's war on terror, groups as dissimilar as armies, religious cults, and advertising agencies have been accused of brainwashing. But what does this mean?<br/><br/><br/><br/>Is it possible to erase memories or to implant them artificially? Do heavy-metal records contain subliminal messages? Do religious cults brainwash recruits? What were the CIA and MI6 doing with LSD in the 1950s? How far have the world&#8217;s militaries really gone?<br/><br/><br/><br/>From the author of the definitive history of cocaine,<em> </em><em>Brainwash</em> is required reading in an era of cutting-edge and often controversial interrogation practices. More than just an examination of the techniques used by the CIA, the KGB, and the Taliban,<em> </em><em>it</em> is also a gripping, full history of the heated efforts to master the elusive, secret techniques of mind control. <br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>What would it take to turn </em>you<em> into a suicide bomber? </em><br/><br/><br/><br/><em>How would</em> you<em> interrogate a member of Al Qaeda?</em> <br/><br/><br/><br/>With access to formerly classified documentation and interviews from the CIA, the U.S. Army, MI5, MI6, and the British Intelligence Corps, acclaimed journalist Dominic Streatfeild traces the history of the world's most secret psychological procedure. <br/><br/><br/><br/>From the cold war to the height of today's war on terror, groups as dissimilar as armies, religious cults, and advertising agencies have been accused of brainwashing. But what does this mean?<br/><br/><br/><br/>Is it possible to erase memories or to implant them artificially? Do heavy-metal records contain subliminal messages? Do religious cults brainwash recruits? What were the CIA and MI6 doing with LSD in the 1950s? How far have the world&#8217;s militaries really gone?<br/><br/><br/><br/>From the author of the definitive history of cocaine,<em> </em><em>Brainwash</em> is required reading in an era of cutting-edge and often controversial interrogation practices. More than just an examination of the techniques used by the CIA, the KGB, and the Taliban,<em> </em><em>it</em> is also a gripping, full history of the heated efforts to master the elusive, secret techniques of mind control. <br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
