Busting Timothy Leary

Praise for Busting Timothy Leary

"I couldn't put this down! Bernard Ross's rollicking novel, inspired by an outlandish true story, deftly captures the spirit of the 1960s with humor, wisdom and compassion. Highly recommended!"

Steven L. Davis, co-author of The Most Dangerous Man in America and Dallas 1963. Winner of the Pen Center Literary Award. "I loved this book from beginning to end. Bernard Ross evokes the ecstatic arc of the 60s and its chief psychedelics guru, Timothy Leary. An intriguing insider's tale, well-written and endlessly gripping. Take the trip!"

Sonia Taitz, author of The Watchmaker's Daughter and Down Under. An undercover soldier uncovers more than he bargained for. In 1965, Lieutenant Sean Kelly returns from Vietnam to undergo advanced training with the Special Forces. He is recruited to infiltrate the American counterculture. His first mission is to penetrate Dr. Timothy Leary's LSD cult. To succeed, he must become a convincing "hippie" and function well on psychedelic drugs. However, nothing in his training prepared him for the challenges of uncovering suppressed memories, confronting inner demons, and experiencing the spiritual revelations that LSD unleashes. His next assignment involves infiltrating the radical student movement, a realm filled with disillusionment and anger. He observes that many within the Civil Rights Movement have embraced Black Power and witnesses devastating race riots firsthand. He attends Vietnam War protests that escalate into violence. His Special Forces skills are put to the test during numerous perilous encounters. These experiences challenge Sean's core values, test his determination, and fuel his inner growth. Sean's journey is an action-packed historical novel set against the captivating backdrop of the 1960s. His story revolves around personal transformation and love, enhanced by his growing self-awareness and the profound realization that his life is a spiritual journey of self-discovery.
