Acid Dreams by Martin A. Lee, Bruce Shlain

The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, the Sixties, and Beyond

An investigative history that traces the discovery and spread of LSD, the covert CIA and military experiments that explored and sometimes weaponized it, and the drug’s catalytic role in shaping 1960s counterculture, politics, and social change; it examines key figures and events, the intersections of science, intelligence and psychedelia, and the ensuing backlash and legal crackdown that transformed public perception.
