Speed-speed-speedfreak:

A Fast History of Amphetamine
Copertina anteriore
2 Recensioni
Feral House, 2010 - 208 pagine
Elvis Presley, the Hell's Angels, Hunter S. Thompson, Truman Capote, the Beatles, Judy Garland, Hank Williams, the Manson Family, Jack Kerouac, Johnny Cash, JFK, and Adolf Hitler. All of the above were, at one time or another, to put it bluntly, speedfreaks. Speed-speed-speedfreak traces the criminal and cultural use of amphetamine and its growing use through each new and destructive cycle. The book will be printed in rounded pill capsule form, like the vaunted "black beauty" of pharmaceutical history.
