Synopsis
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 & political activist. Hoffman pioneered the use of humor, theater & shock value to drive home his points. In Revolution for the Hell of It he gives 1sthand 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 50,000 people attempted to levitate the Pentagon using psychic energy & the time he threw fistfuls of dollar bills onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to watch 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.Book Details
