Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History Of LSD - Plot & Excerpts
Some of this information is discussed in The Search for the “Manchurian Candidate” by John Marks. His book offers a detailed analysis of the CIA’s secret control projects.Two anthologies were particularly helpful in examining the scientific debate over LSD and the definition of its effects: Psychedelics: The Uses and Implications of Hallucinogenic Drugs, edited by Bernard Aaronson and Humphry Osmond, and LSD: The Consciousness Expanding Drug, edited by David Solomon. Several lengthy conversations with Dr. Oscar Janiger provided valuable insight into the above-ground LSD research scene during the 1950s. Janiger also made available his voluminous files, which included interviews with Captain Al Hubbard and other LSD pioneers.A number of books on the psychedelic subculture of the 1960s warrant special mention. The story of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters has been described in great detail by Tom Wolfe in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Millbrook by Arthur Kieps offers an anecdotal and philosophical chronicle of Leary’s psychedelic fraternity in the mid-1960s.
