Brain-washing in Red China : the calculated destruction of men's minds

EDWARD HUNTER, whose experience in the Far East began well over twenty years ago, is now in Hong Kong; his articles appear in the Scripps-Howard news¬ papers, the Cox newspapers, Newsweek, The New Leader , etc. His correspondence has been distinguished by accuracy and objectivity; he covered what many believe to have been the real beginning of World War II (the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931) and was the first to reveal that the Japanese intended to remain indefinitely in Manchuria. The dispatch he sent on this subject to the New York Sun-Consolidated News Agency was in such sharp contradiction to the reassuring statements being issued by the Japanese to the League of Nations, then in session in Geneva, that Mr. Hunter's article was read into the records of the League. Subsequent events, of course, confirmed it all too well, just as isolated paragraphs now beginning to appear in our press are offering confirmation of what Mr. Hunter reveals in this book concerning the psychological weapons and strategy of Communism. Brainwashing in Red China: The Calculated Destruction of Men's Minds" by Edward Hunter is a significant work that delves into the subject of brainwashing and psychological manipulation within the context of China's communist regime in the mid-20th century. Edward Hunter, a journalist and author, explores how the Chinese government employed various techniques to reshape the minds and beliefs of individuals, particularly those who opposed or questioned the regime. The book is known for shedding light on the totalitarian practices of the Chinese Communist Party, including methods like indoctrination, thought reform, and propaganda. Hunter's work has been influential in understanding the psychological tactics used by authoritarian governments to control and influence their populations.
