The Manchurian Candidate
First edition in jacket, 1959
The Manchurian Candidate (1959) by Richard Condon is a Cold War political thriller in which a Korean War veteran is brainwashed by Soviet and Chinese operatives and conditioned to serve as an unwitting assassin, with his handler closer to home than anyone suspects. John Frankenheimer's 1962 film adaptation, starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Angela Lansbury, is considered a classic of the genre. First edition published by McGraw-Hill.
