[…] breathless terms the possible uses of hypnosis in warfare.(5) The Army was intrigued; Estabrooks had a job. The true history of Estabrooks’ wartime collaboration with the CID, FBI (6) and other agencies may never be told: after the war he burned his diary pages covering the years 1940-45, and thereafter avoided discussing his continuing […]
