"Timothy Leary, the so-called High Priest of LSD, was an unlikely candidate for Public Enemy No. 1. Yet President Richard Nixon leveled the full force of the federal government against Leary in the 1970s, producing a globe-hopping manhunt that involved a prison break, the Black Panther Party, and more celebrity cameos than Pee Wee’s Christmas special (Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol and John Lennon, to name just a few.). In the book’s acknowledgements, authors Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis thank Leary “for leading a very interesting life.” That’s an understatement."
