Doctors believed LSD was a panacea for disorders of the mind. The Secret Intelligence Services and Ministry of Defence were confident they could harness the drug's powers for interrogation and the battlefield. Countercultures celebrated acid as not only a hotline to spiritual experience, but also a wonderland of the senses. Governments decried it. LSD remains protean.
Andy Roberts' Albion Dreaming tells the extraordinary story of how LSD helped shape British society and culture since its introduction in the early 1950s. First published in 2008, this new and revised edition benefits from the author's many years of continued research into psychedelic history and the addition of several appendices.
