Subculture Unleashed - By: Ethereal Neil, 26 Jun 2006 
When I received this book I wasn't sure what I would be reading, but I was intrigued. The book covers LSD & mescalin & other hallucinogenic drugsin their context of 1950's America onwards, from government experiments to university parties. Most of all the cast of characters is astonishing, from Aldous Huxley to Jack Kerouac, Alan Ginsberg to Timothy Leary. A facinating insight into a subculture, which has lead me on to read Kerouac, Huxley, Ginsberg, Kesey. Well worth a read
the alternative history book - By: simon gurney, 08 Jan 2003 Storming Heaven is a history of the movers & shakers of the drugs revolution which startedin California & whose ripples can still be felt.
As LSD spreads through the universities, music studios & film lots, Jay Stevens charts the adventures of many of the acid lumineries such as Ken Kesey & the merry pranksters, the grateful dead & how the movement suddenly took on a huge momentum, which forced the forsec of law & order into action.
A great insight into ther period, with a very west coast flavour.
