An account of how a scientific experiment with LSD became a religious movement and then a social and political revolution. With names like Ken Kesey, Aldous Huxley, Dr Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg and Charles Manson, the book examines a force which has helped shape contemporary America.

To a generation of psychotherapists, LSD was a door to the unconscious. To the CIA, which purchased enough to turn on 100 million people, it was potentially a mind-control weapon. To Aldous Huxley, it was a force which could push mankind up the evolutionary ladder, a belief inherited by Dr Timothy Leary, who thought LSD would transform America into a spiritual Utopia. "Storming Heaven" begins in scientific investigation and ends in social and cultural revolution. With names like Henry Luce, Cary Grant, Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, G Gordon Liddy and Charles Manson, the books examines a force which shaped contemporary America.
