War on the mind: The military uses and abuses of psychology

I inherited this book from my father's library and was expecting an entirely negative book. Instead, what I found was an author who tried to find as much information on military psychological research and covers it all. From discovering what British soldiers would work hardest for in the 50s (more pay? college?) to some of the darker stories that have become counterculture fodder for decades. What Watson did was simply to dig up as much information as possible, distill it and present it to the layman without prejudice.
