Project Artichoke - The CIA's First Experiments in Controlling the Human Mind
A documented history of the early Cold War behavior-control programsBy Nathaniel B. Carver
Length1h 21m
About this audiobook
In the fearful early years of the Cold War, the CIA set out to answer a chilling question: could a human being be made to act against his own will—even against his instinct for self-preservation? Project ARTICHOKE tells the documented story of that search. Drawing only on declassified files, congressional investigations, and the established record, it traces the program from its origins in Project BLUEBIRD through drugs, hypnosis, and experiments on unwitting subjects, into MKULTRA. Separating proven fact from enduring myth, it reveals not a science of mind control, but a democracy that betrayed its principles out of fear.
