(h) Doesn't matter much whether you loved him or hated him -- he was a major influence in later 20th century American history, perhaps more influential with the people who hated him than the others. This is the first complete biography of the man, and filled with those things that were influential to him, not secret hidden facts as much as things most people never knew, such as his time as a cadet at West Point, and things he ACTUALLY did (as distinct from what newpspaper headlines said) such as his drug research studies at Harvard. He laughed a lot because he found so many things funny. For example, when he was sent to prison, and, as were all new prisoners, was given a psychological evaluation test to determine his sanity, it was a test he had written some years before, one that was still called "The Leary Test." For good or ill, and extraordinary man. (Signed copies also available)
