Storming Heaven: LSD & the American
Dream by Jay Stevens is a
social history of America from the Forties through the Sixties that weaves an
astonishing tapestry of Science, Psychology, Politics, the Arts, and the
Counterculture. Brilliant, witty, and exhaustively researched, Storming
Heaven is the definitive account of the turmoil of the middle years of this
century. Whatever you think you know about this confluence of drugs, culture,
and history in America is necessarily incomplete and very likely incorrect
until you read Storming Heaven.
Jay Stevens is a journalist, social historian, and novelist
living in Vermont. He has written numerous magazine and newspaper pieces. Mr.
Stevens co-wrote "Drumming at the Edge of Magic" and "Planet
Drum" with the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, published by Harper's San
Francisco.
