In 'The Secret Weapons of the CIA', Gordon Thomas, an expert in secret services, reveals the Agency's techniques for obtaining information from its prisoners. Since the 1950s, the CIA has developed research programs to improve its chemical weapons, techniques of mental manipulation and torture, involving doctors and psychiatrists, and experimenting with drugs and electroshock for the 'mental reconditioning' of the enemies of the USA. This book explores these experiments and abuses against human rights.
