Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD, and the Sixties Rebellion

Journal of American History March 1, 1987 Richard H. Immerman, Martin A. Lee, Bruce Shlain 40 citations

A book review of Acid Dreams, which examines the CIA's involvement with LSD and its impact on the 1960s counterculture. The review notes that the book argues the CIA's covert experiments with the drug and its spread through society shaped the political and social upheavals of the era. The reviewer critiques the work for its sensationalism and lack of rigorous historical analysis, suggesting it overstates the CIA's direct influence on the Sixties rebellion while acknowledging its value as a provocative narrative.
