Heard of the MK Ultra project? Neither had I until I read an interview with the author about 'Double-blind'. The discordant, sometimes confusing style of this book chimes perfectly with its subject - using vulnerable, disturbed children to conduct experiments into brainwashing. The main protagonist, Dr Bozeman, a military psychiatrist recruited to the project, endeavours to follow orders in a humane manner, unlike his colleague Fraser. Yet he never seems to question that what they're doing might be wrong. An intriguing story.
