Abbott Howard Hoffman, known as Abbie Hoffman, was a prominent American social and political activist who became an icon of the 1960s youth rebellion and radical activism. In his autobiography, he described himself as an anarchist. Hoffman was a co-founder of the Youth International Party, or "Yippies." He played a central role in protests during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, leading to his trial along with others in the "Chicago Eight" (later "Chicago Seven") proceedings.
Still Notorious, Radical, and Revolutionary 50 Years Later. A survival guide from one of the greatest creative organizers of the 20th century-now with a new foreword by co-conspirator, Lisa Fithian.
A driving force behind the social revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, Hoffman inspired a generation to challenge the status quo. Meant as a practical guide for the aspiring hippie, Steal This Book captures Hoffman's puckish tone. Outrageously illustrated by R. Crumb, it nevertheless conveys a serious message to all would-be revolutionaries: You don't have to take it anymore. Illustrations.
A book from the U.S. underground, covering Abbie--in disguise--interviewing people, touring the FBI building, and organizing a campaign to save the St. Lawrence River. The articles are creative, funny, nervy, and political.
