FUGITIVE PHILOSOPHER
by Leary, Timothy
ISBN: 1579510396
Publisher: Ronin Publishing, Inc
"Busted for pot in 1965, Timothy Leary was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He escaped, and thus began an almost farcical odyssey: the former West Point student and Harvard professor now an acid-tripping fugitive. In this delightfully irreverent account, Leary describes his time in Algeria; how he was sheltered by an arms dealer in Switzerland; his exploits with the Weathermen and Eldridge Cleaver, who tried to hold him hostage; and his eventual capture and return to the United States. With black-and-white illustrations throughout. 144 pp."
