Soft cover. Condición: As New. Daniel Pick's book traces the modern history of the idea of "brainwashing," showing how it emerged during the Cold War and then spread into politics, psychology, popular culture, and everyday language. He begins with the 1953 case of American POWs who refused repatriation after the Korean War, a moment that ignited Western fears about sinister new methods of mind control. From there, Pick follows the concept through decades of anxiety about communist indoctrination, CIA experiments with altered states, cults, advertising, corporate groupthink, and later digital?age concerns about algorithms and online radicalisation. Appears to be unread.
