It should not be so hard to write both poetry and fiction. Both arts, after all, make use of the same materials, words and punctuation. Poems... Continue »

Publisher Comments:

While the supremely popular Steal This Book is a guide to living outside the establishment, Revolution for the Hell of It is a chronicle of Abbie Hoffman's radical escapades that doubles as a guidebook for today's social and political activist. Hoffman pioneered the use of humor, theater, and shock value to drive home his points, and in Revolution for the Hell of It he gives firsthand accounts of his legendary adventures, from the activism that led to the founding of the Youth International Party—or "Yippies!—to the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests ("a Perfect Mess") that resulted in his conviction as part of the Chicago Seven. Also chronicled are the mass demonstrations he led in which over fifty thousand people attempted to levitate the Pentagon using psychic energy, and the time he threw fistfuls of dollar bills onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and watched the traders scramble. With antiwar sentiment once again in a furor and an incendiary political climate not seen since the book's original printing, Abbie Hoffman's voice is more essential than ever.

Synopsis:

- Includes a facsimile edition of Hoffman's rare first book, Fuck the System

..Maybe.., November 11, 2007 (view all comments by ..Maybe..)
I first read an selection from this in The Best of Abbie Hoffman, and I was astounded. In my opinion, this is by far his best work. He contradicted everything I had originally worked out for myself, and changed the way I looked at my politics and beliefs. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone looking for a good read.
