The biggest drug bust in British history occurred in the early
hours of 25 March 1977: 800 officers made 120 arrests and seized a
staggering 6,000,000 tabs of LSD. The raids focused on two acid
manufacturing centres: one hidden in an isolated farmhouse in
deepest Wales, the other in a suburban house on a leafy residential
street in south-west London. Between them they supplied acid to
most of the UK, Europe, America and beyond. Tabs bearing their logo
were recovered as far away as Australia. James Wyllie tells the
extraordinary story of how a middle-aged American academic, two
idealistic British students, a public school cad and an American
hustler formed the Microdot Gang and created an acid production
line designed to turn on the world. It is the story of Operation
Julie - a police operation unprecedented in scale, sophistication
and complexity, the brainchild of an old-school detective who led
an investigation that would eventually involve the security
services, the FBI, the DEA, the Canadian authorities and the Swiss
police. Ranging over a decade and across several continents, The
Microdot Gang is also a tale of how a cultural movement became a
criminal enterprise, inspiring the war on drugs and launching a
revolution that left an enduring and complex legacy.
