According to BBC News, “”the guide was part of a larger CIA programme, called Project MKULTRA, aimed at countering the Soviet mind-control techniques of the Cold War era”. While the legendary manuals were believed to have been destroyed in 1973, intelligence historian H.

The manual of tricks and techniques used for the CIA interrogation program during the Cold War includes placing pills in drinks, stealing documents and avoiding detection. A manual of maneuvers and operational procedures crafted by the top minds of the world is now available for all to peruse.
