5.0 out of 5 stars Why Operation Mind Control disappeared, December 23, 2005

By	J. Moore "music fan" (Nashville) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As one of the researchers mentioned in Operation Mind Control (Jim Moore - pp 262-264, orig. edition), I followed this book and its author with great interest. The book disappeared because, according to what I learned, the CIA did not want the public to know the extent and details of its mind control programs. I believe even Walter Bowart himself once described how the entire warehouse supply was bought up by the CIA. The book also began vanishing from libraries across the nation, and virtually every copy available in bookstores was suddenly bought up and disappeared into a black hole. Very few copies survived this draconian purge. Those that remain are quire rare and expensive and should be must-reading for all Americans concerned about the future of our country and how our thought processes are manipulated by the political-intelligence "experts". especially in the wake of what is being revealed about 9-11, Iraq and the NSA spying.
At one point, even photocopies were going for as much as $75-100. The book itself (1st edition) has sold for as high as $250. There was a second printing (with a different cover) that also quickly disappeared; whether it was an authorized printing or not, I don't know.
Walter Bowart reportedly wrote a follow-up, but suddenly stopped and virtually vanished. The rumor mill has it that he was threatened with "termination with extreme prejudice" - a phrase for assassination that is now outdated.
To my knowledge, he is still alive but living his life in a very low profile. From my own experiences over the years, I can't say I blame him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking!, September 14, 1998

By A Customer

By reading the book one realizes how unsafe the world we are living in is. What amazes me more than anything else is the unavailability of this book. Why is it not republished? Is CIA preventing?

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, August 5, 1999

By A Customer

This is a must read. Can't wait to get a copy of the new edition. Yes, some books are hard to come by. Walter Bowart knows how to write. You don't know anything until you read this book.
