Using communication, felt, rather than spoken, the latter, succeeds in overcoming the egotism and selfishness of the former. This gentle revolution is let by a young girl, May, who has the ability of thought communication to an extraordinary degree. Eventually, even a former, ruthless leader begins to change after he is isolated with an accomplice on a remote island.Radmila Boruvka Raikow was born in Prague, Czech Republic. She and her family immigrated to the US to escape Stalinist persecutions, and became naturalized, US citizens. With a PhD in genetics, she spent a career doing research in basic and medical biology. Mind Control as well as her two earlier novels, deal with interaction between two points of view: the first, Heterosis, published under her maiden name, Radmila Boruvkova, deals with Polynesian and Western cultures; and the second, Where Is My Home ?, describes two young people, Rachel and Karl, a Jew and a Nazi soldier, who fall in love in the shambles of post-war Czechoslovakia.
