Autobiography of Abbie Hoffman

A new edition of his rollicking autobiography—his suburban Jewish upbringing and early rebelliousness; his involvement in the student movement at Berkeley in the early 60s, the anti-war demonstrations of the late 60s and early 70s, and his years as a fugitive living underground. Then of course, there’s the 1968 Democratic Convention and subsequent Chicago Seven trial, his levitation of the Pentagon, and his friendships with Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale, Allen Ginsberg, and many others. For this edition his widow, Johanna Lawrenson, has written a new afterword about Hoffman’s activism in the 80s and his legacy today.
