Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture is the inspirational life story of one of Abbie Hoffman, cofounder of the Yippie movement and one of the most important activists of the twentieth century. Hoffman recounts his growing involvement in the student movement as it rose to national prominence, giving behind-the-scenes details about the historic protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention and subsequent Chicago conspiracy trial, his "levitation' of the Pentagon, and his friendships with other movement leaders. This new edition includes a selection of photographs documenting his continuing activism in the 1980s and a new Afterword by leading historian Howard Zinn about Hoffman's enduring legacy.

I think history is yet to fully judge Hoffman's role in 20th Century but I'm sure he will receive more than a footnote, and "Soon to be a major motion picture" is a good way to get an idea of Hoffman's work and his humour. It's just a shame he decided it was all too much. ( )
