The Autobiography of Abbie Hoffman (Paperback, 2nd edition)

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ABBIE HOFFMAN is a long overdue re-issue of one of the classic counter-culture biographies. Originally published in 1980 as Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture this new edition includes a selection of rare photographs as well as a new afterword by Howard Zinn celebrating Hoffman's enduring activist legacy. Fighting for social justice and against America's involvement in the Vietnam War, Abbie Hoffman electrified the world and inspired a generation to question authority and challenge the status quo. This book tells the story of one of America's most influential and imaginative dissidents, a major figure in the 1960s counter-culture and anti-war movement who remained a dedicated political activist right up until his death in 1989. describes the history of his times and provides a first-hand account of such memorable events as the 'levitation' of the Pentagon, the dropping of dollar bills onto the New York Stock Exchange floor, and the Chicago 8 Trial which followed the violent demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic Convention, as well as his friendships with Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale, Allen Ginsberg, and many others.
