Publisher Description

The classic thriller about a hostile foreign power infiltrating American politics: “Brilliant . . . wild and exhilarating.” —The New Yorker


A war hero and the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, Sgt. Raymond Shaw is keeping a deadly secret—even from himself. During his time as a prisoner of war in North Korea, he was brainwashed by his Communist captors and transformed into a deadly weapon—a sleeper assassin, programmed to kill without question or mercy at his captors’ signal. Now he’s been returned to the United States with a covert mission: to kill a candidate running for US president . . .


This “shocking, tense” and sharply satirical novel has become a modern classic, and was the basis for two film adaptations (San Francisco Chronicle).


“Crammed with suspense.” —Chicago Tribune


“Condon is wickedly skillful.” —Time

The Manchuria Candidate

I liked this book. A little rough in the beginning but later it developed into a good read.

You loved the movie; you’ll love the book!

This is just dandy! I read it in one sitting, and was sorry to see it go.
