The Lives of Abbie Hoffman

De: Jack Hoffman, Dan Simon

Narrado por: Dan M. Simon, Michael Imperioli

Intertwining the details of Abbie Hoffman's intense personal life, with the movement politics of the'60s, '70s, and '80s, Dan Simon writes Abbie's story from the point of view of his younger brother, Jack, creating a full and poignant portrait of one of the geniuses of the 1960s counterculture.

From the creation of the Yippies! in 1967; and the tumult of the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests; to the humor and agony of the Chicago conspiracy trial; the scandal of Abbie's 1973 cocaine bust, and his six and a half years as a fugitive; to his reemergence as environmentalist "Barrie Freed"; and his final struggle with manic-depressive illness, this biography offers a compelling examination of the contradictions that make Abbie Hoffman such a compelling figure.

With the information and affection only a brother could bring to the complexities of Abbie's life, Hoffman and Simon portray Abbie's public persona, alongside his private aspirations and fears, romances, and enduring family relationships.
