Publisher's Synopsis
MKUltra and Jolly West: The US Government's Dark Mind Control Experiments
Uncover the chilling history of MKUltra, the CIA's secretive mind control program that blurred the lines between scientific inquiry and ethical boundaries. This book takes a deep dive into one of the most disturbing projects of the Cold War, where the relentless pursuit of psychological manipulation led to experiments with LSD, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, and more.
At the center of this dark chapter in American history was Dr. Louis "Jolly" West, a psychiatrist with deep ties to the intelligence community. His work, along with that of other researchers, pushed the limits of human endurance and raised profound moral questions that still linger today.
Through declassified documents, historical analysis, and firsthand accounts, this book explores the origins of MKUltra, its connection to high-profile events, and the lasting consequences of government-sponsored human experimentation. From covert research in university laboratories to the use of unwitting subjects in hospitals and prisons, the truth behind these psychological trials is more disturbing than fiction.
MKUltra and Jolly West reveals the extent of the CIA's ambitions to control the human mind and the devastating impact on those caught in its web. It serves as both a cautionary tale and a call for transparency in the face of unchecked power.
