In this classic of political and social psychology, Joost Meerloo attempts to account for the mechanisms of mind that have made the brainwashing techniques of totalitarian states so historically successful. His frightening conclusion, that "hardly anyone can resist," appeals to mechanisms undergirding human thought, many of which are not obviously available to individuals.

While this is but a narrow and humanistic perspective on the subject, it is well worth the time. It is a good addition to the general body of work covering mass manipulation, propaganda, etc.
