About This Item
New York:: Henry Holt,, (2019). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. The story of the man who oversaw the CIAs secret drug and mind-control experiments of the 1950s and 60s, a story which was only to be pieced together after Gottlieb's death. "As the head of the MK-ULTRA mind control project, he directed brutal experiments at secret prisons on three continents. He made pills, powders, and potions that could kill or maim without a trace - including some intended for Fidel Castro and other foreign leaders. His experiments spread LSD across the United States, making him a hidden godfather of the 1960s counterculture. For years he was the chief supplier of spy tools used by CIA officers around the world." Photographs, extensive notes, bibliography, index. 354 pp.
