Orange Sunshine

Told for the first time, this is the inside story of the rise and fall of the "Hippie Mafia": the group of California hippie surfers who grew into a worldwide drug cartel in the late 1960s and early '70s, and whose powerful homemade acid, "orange sunshine," provided the fuel for America's pyschedelic counterculture revolution. Nicholas Schou delved deep into the Brotherhood's story, gaining interviews with long-silent former members, and delivers a sweeping narrative of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll (and more drugs) that stretches from Laguna Beach to Maui to Afghanistan.
