British writer Gordon Thomas weaves MK-ULTRA (the CIA's name for its drug research program) in and out of this somewhat disjointed account. Canadian psychiatrist Donald Ewen Cameron (who destroyed patients with electroshock and drugs and justified it by accepting CIA money), is featured along with such diverse characters as Allen Dulles and his wife Clover, William Casey, and Beirut station chief William Buckley (kidnapped in 1984 and subjected to medical torture by Dr. Aziz al-Abub).
Thomas weaves all this together the way a good screenwriter would.
While he doesn't appear to have shirked on his investigative efforts, we
would be more enthusiastic over this book if he had provided more
footnotes and taken fewer dramatic liberties.
