Krátky popis
'Utterly fascinating and illuminating' Sinclair
McKay'Fascinating... An astonishing read, with remarkably vivid
protagonists' Harald Jähner'Ohler weaves a masterful tapestry of
history in this revealing and fresh account' David de
Jong'Brilliantly sifting a massive history for its ideological
through lines, this is a must-read.' Publishers Weekly (starred
review)Berlin, 1945. Following the fall of the Third Reich, drug
use - long kept under control by the Nazis' strict anti-drug laws -
is rampant throughout the city.In the American sector, Arthur J.
Giuliani of the nascent Federal Bureau of Narcotics is tasked with
learning about the Nazis' drug policies and bringing home anything
that might prove 'useful'. Five years later, Harvard professor Dr
Henry Beecher begins work with the US government to uncover the
research behind the Nazis' psychedelics programme.Originally
created for medical purposes by Dr Albert Hofmann, the Nazis
coopted LSD to experiment with mind control and find a 'truth
serum' - research that the US, particularly the CIA, is desperate
to acquire. Based on extensive archival research, Tripped is a
wild, unconventional post-war history, a spiritual sequel to Norman
Ohler's bestselling Blitzed. Revealing the hidden connections
between the Nazis and the CIA's notorious brainwashing
experimentation programme, MKUltra, Ohler shares how this secret
history held back the therapeutic research of psychedelic drugs for
decades as the West sought to turn LSD into a weapon.
