false 290562 4 subtitle: The Book That Earned Abbie Hoffman a 5 Year Prison Term at the Chicago Conspiracy Trial 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 firsthand 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 fifty thousand people attempted to levitate the Pentagon using psychic energy, & the time he threw fistfuls of dollar bills onto the floor of the NY Stock Exchange & watched the traders scramble. With antiwar sentiment once again in a furor & an incendiary political climate not seen since the book's original printing, Hoffman's voice is more essential than ever. 2459689 1968 Revolution for the Hell of It total:112|5:36|4:40|3:28|2:4|1:4| 112 436 187 13 1 2 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1995 Wed Sep 24 07:18:22 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 07:20:54 -0700 2008 1 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1970 Sat Nov 07 06:52:30 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 07:02:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed May 01 00:00:00 -0700 1968 Tue May 12 19:33:19 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 19:39:04 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Jan 07 12:53:40 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 12:53:52 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Mar 25 07:55:47 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 07:55:57 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jun 13 05:56:08 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 06:07:15 -0700 2008 and fun. this book was published 40 years ago and has a media savvy that far surpasses much of what is currently being written. that quality, combined with Hoffman's wit and astute grasp of power dynamics, makes this required read...more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Aug 05 22:10:07 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 20:56:18 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Nov 09 09:10:04 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 09 09:11:42 -0800 2008 4 0 true false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 10:19:45 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 10:22:42 -0700 2007
