PSYCHOPOLITICS - ""The art and science of asserting and maintaining dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals, officers, bureaus, and masses, and the effecting of the conquest of enemy nations through ""mental healing."" The former Commissariat for Internal Affairs Beria introduces Soviet Spy students in the methods to brainwash, and control of 'the enemy'. Both on a one-on-one level as well as on a group level, this explosive textbook has been translated and now published. Ever since American prisoners of war in Korea suddenly switched sides to the Communist cause, the concept of brainwashing has continued to concern us. Has it stopped just because the Soviet Union is no more? The only way to know is to understand how it takes place. Learn how it really IS possible to force any thinking person to act in a way completely alien to his character. What makes so-called brainwashing so different from the equally insidious effects of indoctrination and conditioning, or even 'mental health'?

Brainwashing is a groundbreaking book that offers a powerful and thought-provoking analysis of the psychological techniques used to manipulate and control individuals in times of conflict and crisis. Written by Edward Hunter, a respected journalist and expert on propaganda and psychological warfare, this book is a seminal work that has influenced scholars, policymakers, and activists around the world. In this book, Hunter provides a detailed account of the methods used by totalitarian regimes to brainwash and indoctrinate their citizens, drawing on his experiences covering the Korean War and his interviews with prisoners of war. He explores the science of behavior modification, including hypnosis, sensory deprivation, and drug-induced states, as well as the role of propaganda and censorship in shaping public opinion. Hunter's insights into the mechanics of brainwashing and mind control have proven prescient, as these techniques continue to be used by authoritarian regimes to suppress dissent and maintain power. His analysis of the impact of brainwashing on individuals and societies offers a sobering reminder of the dangers of unchecked state power. With its powerful message and rigorous analysis, Brainwashing remains a seminal work on the psychological manipulation of individuals and populations. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of propaganda and psychological warfare, as well as for those concerned about the impact of authoritarianism on human freedom and dignity.
