[Rickco]

Looking for the title of a book I read back in the early 70's. Revolutionary type book, possibly Abbie Hoffman.Anti establishment. Cover was black with a white hand showing a peace sign.This book actually showed up in the VA hospital scene in 'Born on the 4th of July' with Tom Cruise.

Johnny Got His Gun. Actually an older book (1938, about WWI).

Thank you. Sure looks alot like the cover but the book I 'm talking about was about Chicago '72 convention, hippies, rebellion against the Vietnam war,etc.

According to IMDB, the book seen in the movie is Johnny Got His Gun, which is an anti-war classic.

Could the book you are thinking about be Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72?

The Chicago convention was in 1968.

Thanks guys. Perhaps my memory is somewhat muddled. You are both right. I recently saw the movie and remembered the book, although not so clearly.
