The Manchurian Candidate

The Manchurian Candidate (1959), by Richard Condon, is a political thriller about the son of a prominent U.S. political family who is brainwashed into being an unwitting assassin for a Communist conspiracy. The novel has been adapted into a feature film twice; the first is The Manchurian Candidate (1962), which deals with anti-communist hysteria in U.S. politics, and the second is The Manchurian Candidate (2004), which deals with corporate interference in the U.S. government.
