Gordon Liddy, and Charles Manson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this brilliant, riveting, and exhaustively researched book, Jay Stevens relates the history of that \"curious molecule,\" LSD. He unearths a story of Pynchonesque complexity, tells it with novelistic flair, and irrefutably demonstrates LSD's pivotal role in the cultural upheavals that shook America in the 1960s and changed the country forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802135870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802135872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.53h x 5.55w x 1.08d","brand":"Jay Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048770662655,"sku":"9780802135872","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fee40460-2ee9-4f19-bf2f-b9bdc99f82f8.jpg?v=1684997731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/storming-heaven-jay-stevens-9780802135872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
