Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Best of Abbie Hoffman is the inspirational life story of Abbie Hoffman, cofounder of the Yippie movement and one of the most important activists of the twentieth century. Hoffman recounts his growing involvement in the student movement as it rose to national prominence, giving behind-the-scenes details about the historic protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention and subsequent Chicago conspiracy trial, his "levitation" of the Pentagon, and his friendships with other movement leaders. This new edition includes a selection of photographs documenting his continuing activism in the 1980s and a new Afterword by leading historian Howard Zinn about Hoffman's enduring legacy. "This book is a document . . . the autobiography of a bona fide American revolutionary." — Norman Mailer, from his Introduction

Synopsis:

Few Americans can claim the honor of having remained an effective dissident voice for change for three decades without ever cashing in their chips for the comfort of Wall Street academia or elected office. This book spans Hoffman's entire career as a vocal worker for justice, equality and conservation.

Synopsis:
