The Manchurian Candidate , first published by XYZ in 1959, is the second and most famous novel by the American political novelist Richard Condon. The story of a American soldier brainwashed by Communists to be an unwitting political assassin, it was the basis for two films of the same name, in 1962 and 2004. The term "Manchurian candidate" is in general use to describe a person who, impelled by some sort of exterior mind control, is constrained to carry out another person's agenda.
