À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Acid Dreams is the complete social history of LSD and the counterculture it helped to define in the sixties. Martin Lee and Bruce Shlain's exhaustively researched and astonishing account-part of it gleaned from secret government files-tells how the CIA became obsessed with LSD as an espionage weapon during the early l950s and launched a massive covert research program, in which countless unwitting citizens were used as guinea pigs. Though the CIA was intent on keeping the drug to itself, it ultimately couldn't prevent it from spreading into the popular culture; here LSD had a profound impact and helped spawn a political and social upheaval that changed the face of America. From the clandestine operations of the government to the escapades of Timothy Leary, Abbie Hoffman, Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, Allen Ginsberg, and many others, Acid Dreams provides an important and entertaining account that goes to the heart of a turbulent period in our history. "Engaging throughout . . . at once entertaining and disturbing." - Andrew Weil, M.D., The Nation; "Marvelously detailed . . . loaded with startling revelations." - Los Angeles Daily News; "An engrossing account of a period . . . when a tiny psychoactive molecule affected almost every aspect of Western life." - William S. Burroughs; "An important historical synthesis of the spread and effects of a drug that served as a central metaphor for an era." - John Sayles.

  • If You are Interested in "the Sixties" - Read this Book

    This is a valuable book. For those of you that believe that something very important happened in the evolution of humanity during the “Cold War” era, and that widespread use of psychedelic drugs was instrumental in that evolution, this book is an essential read. LSD was widely used by the mental health profession in the 1950s, and was one of the most effective treatments for alcoholism ever tried. Considerable research into the human mind was conducted and great discoveries were made in the scientific community. In a parallel universe, covert governmental agencies (principally the CIA) were conducting their own research, in hopes of creating better soldiers or achieving some method of mind control or interrogation techniques (their efforts failed miserably, of course). Find out why the ...

  • Excellent book about the Counterculture

    This book is perfect - It offered everything I was hoping for when I first purchased it. It covered from the end of the 50's and the Beat generation and how their influence lead into the hippie generation, and it ended in the early 70's tying in the beginning of hard rock and punk. It is a true spectrum of the 1960's counterculture generation. It's a large book but its facinating to learn about the history and the culture. It really ties up everyhting and clearly shows the correalation between the drug counterculture and the govn't & society during that time period. The author also goes into government policies at the time and conspiricys and covert CIA and classified documents. I was amazed by the actions of the CIA and the testing of LSD on unsuspecting American citizens ( MKULTRA ). It ...
