Review:
Richard Condon's 1959 Cold War thriller remains just as chilling today. It's the story of Sgt. Raymond Shaw, an ex-prisoner of war (and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor) who, brainwashed with the rest of his unit by a Chinese psychological expert during his captivity in North Korea, has come home programmed to kill. His primary target is a U.S. presidential nominee. Made into a controversial 1962 movie with Laurence Harvey, Frank Sinatra, and Angela Lansbury.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Fair. Everyone knows John Frankenheimer's controversial 1962 film starring Frank Sinatra, Janet Leigh, and Angela Lansbury, even though it was taken out of circulation for twenty-five years after JFK's assassination and everyone will see Jonathan Demme's 2004 remake starring Denzel Washington and produced by Scott Rudin (The Hours), but these days too few have read the best-selling novel on which the movie was based. Originally published in 1959, The Manchurian Candidate is a terrifying political thriller featuring Sergeant Raymond Shaw, ex-prisoner of war, Medal of Honor winner, American hero . . . and brainwashed political assassin. Writing in 2002, Greil Marcus called the novel 'An unusual kind of success. It was simultaneously a best-seller and a cult book, casual reading for the public and the subject of hushed conversations among sophisticates: could this really happen? The story would lodge in the nations psyche and stay there.'. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration. Seller Inventory # GOR002123799
