More on the C.I.A.
Operation Mind Control is a
Fontana original in November.
Americans will have the chance of
reading it in six weeks' time, when
Dell do a first printing of half a
million. Dellacort will hardback it
in the spring, six months after the
soft-cover. Fontana had 24 hours to
make up their minds about it, and
conscious of its dynamite content
they readjusted all their schedules to
publish it on 31st November.
Operation Mind Control, by Walter
Bowart, claims to be the story of how
the C.I.A: have used brainwashing
techniques far more effective and
sinister than the traditional methods
in order to take over the minds of
Americans and use them as intelli-
gence gatherers, as messengers, hu-
man computers, or even as assassins.
Bowart's astonishing book appears
to give chapter and verse on how
the C.I.A. moulded men's minds to
its own nefarious purpose. But will it
turn out to be another spoof at the
expense of the C.I.A.? It will cer-
tainly hit the headlines.
