Episode Details

The Manchurian Candidate was written by Richard Condon and published in 1959. It focuses on Raymond Shaw, a soldier who receives the Medal of Honor under false circumstances. This theme is updated in Captain America: The Winter Soldier  with its mysterious killer who's been turned into a brainwashed mercenary.

So is this all the realm of Hollywood and spy-fi novels? Or are these scenarios possible?
