Storming Heaven: LSD and the American Dream"On the April afternoon in 1943 that Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman discovered the hallucinogenic properties of LSD, he had little notion that over the next thirty years it would become one of the most controversial drugs in human history. Storming Heaven is the dramatic chronicle of LSD's brief but convulsive reign in America, where it would be taken up for an astonishing range of projects."--Back cover. |
