Terror, Love and Brainwashing by Alexandra SteinRead about the other books on the list.
Dr Alexandra Stein knows what she’s talking about. Now a social psychologist and Honorary Research Fellow at London South Bank University, she spent ten years in a political cult herself, and the 25 years since studying the phenomenon. This book is a captivating, if sobering, blend of personal experience, eye-witness accounts and academic study, as Stein drills down into the factors that make us more vulnerable at certain times in our lives than others. Her own theories and observations as to how brainwashing takes place are absolutely and terrifyingly spot on.
