This classic 1959 Cold War-era thriller inspired both a fairly faithfully adapted 1962 John Frankenheimer film, starring Frank Sinatra, and a more loosely based, updated 2004 Jonathan Demme remake with Denzel Washington. Raymond Shaw, a lonely, bitter American, is brainwashed by Chinese and Russian communists during the Korean War to become the perfect assassin, utterly unaware of the dreadful deeds he is ordered to perform. Several years later, the Communists are prepared to unleash their secret weapon...but who is Raymond's projected target? And how will that plot affect the political aspirations of Shaw's stepfather, a buffoonish but extremely influential anti-Communist Senator entirely ruled by Shaw's mother Eleanor, a ruthless woman prepared to use any tool available--including her son--to fulfill her ambitions? Although the linchpin of the plot--that it's possible to psychologically program someone to enact a series of morally repugnant tasks--seems somewhat fantastical, it is a fact that the Chinese, the Russians, and the Americans experimented with brainwashing during the latter half of the 20th century.
