The Psychic War: The CIA's Secret PSI Spies – Parapsychology in Espionage – and Beyond uncovers one of the most fascinating and controversial chapters in modern intelligence history: the use of psychic phenomena in espionage.
Drawing on documented programmes and accounts, the book explores how agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) investigated and, at times, employed remote viewing, telepathy, and other psychic abilities as tools of intelligence gathering during the Cold War and beyond.
The work examines the development of these programmes, the individuals involved, and the results that sparked both intrigue and scepticism. It also reflects on the broader implications of such research, raising questions about the limits of human perception and the potential applications of consciousness beyond conventional boundaries.
Blending history, parapsychology, and investigative insight, The Psychic War offers a compelling look at the intersection of science, secrecy, and the unexplained.
