''Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control'' (ISBN 0-340-83161-8) is a 2006 non-fiction book published by Hodder & Stoughton about the evolution of mind control from its origins in the Cold War through to today's War on Terror.〔http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/non-fiction/article689424.ece〕〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2006/sep/23/featuresreviews.guardianreview9〕 The author, Dominic Streatfeild, uses formerly classified documentation and interviews from the CIA,〔(The Intelligence Officer's Bookshelf )〕 U.S. Army, MI5, MI6 and British Intelligence Corps to investigate the methods intended to destroy and reconstruct the minds of captives, to extract information and convert dissidents. ''Brainwash'' is Streatfeild's second book, following on from his 2002 book, ''Cocaine: An Unauthorised Biography''. ''Brainwash'' covers a wide range of disturbing techniques used to subvert the human will, ranging from inducing chemical imbalance through stressing (wall standing, hooding and malnutrition), sensory deprivation, hypnosis, the 'Deep Narcosis' therapy employed by Dr William Sargant and Ewan Cameron, subliminal messaging, socialisation and various forms of mind control. The author investigates the use of these techniques by the CIA, British Intelligence Services (against the IRA), the KGB, large corporations, the Moonies and various ''Satanic abuse'' trials in the 1980s and 1990s. ''Brainwash'' details the work carried out by William Sargant and Donald Ewan Cameron (both now deceased) on the MKULTRA project before becoming disillusioned with the results after the pair had destroyed the health, memories and lives of countless patients. ==Samuel Johnson Award== Post publication, ''Brainwash'' was nominated for the Samuel Johnson Prize in 2007.〔http://www.thesamueljohnsonprize.co.uk/pages/previous-winners/2007/brainwash.htm〕 The book was then longlisted and ultimately shortlisted for the 2007 prize but lost out to ''Imperial Life in the Emerald City'' by Rajiv Chandrasekaran. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
