For the Hell of It

As cultural revolutionary, media celebrity, Yippie, lost soul, and tragic suicide, Abbie Hoffman embodied the contradictions of his era. In a riveting biography (first published in 1996), Jonah Raskin draws on his own 20-year relationship with Hoffman, along with hundreds of interviews and careful scrutiny of government and public documents. A must-read for those who seek a fuller understanding of this ultimate iconoclast and his America. 25 photos. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
