Summary

In this classic of political and social psychology, Joost Meerloo attempts to account for the mechanisms of mind that have made the brainwashing techniques of totalitarian states so historically successful. His frightening conclusion, that "hardly anyone can resist," appeals to mechanisms undergirding human thought, many of which are not obviously available to individuals.

Excellent analysis

A slow start but worthwhile if you stick with it. Enlightening and informative. Ends too quickly and leaves you wanting more.
