Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control

byStephen Kinzer

In Poisoner in Chief, Stephen Kinzer presents a biographical portrait centered on sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of biography & autobiography and political science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
