"...[A] rip-roaring tale of hallucinogenic drugs, revolutionary
politics and an intercontinental standoff...Minutaglio and Davis
have taken a largely forgotten chapter from the recent past and
turned it into a vigorous page-turner."--San Francisco
Chronicle
"A deeply researched, entertaining, and informative look at the
symbolically joined paths Nixon and one of his nemeses, LSD guru
Timothy Leary, followed in the early 1970s, the era that would
ultimately be defined by Watergate."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"A pitch-perfect, exhilarating work about one of the strangest
chapters in the American experience, one so exciting that even the
postscript rivets...A stroke of narrative genius."--Booklist
(Starred Review)
"A riveting international chase between a tenacious but paranoid
cat and a wily but delusional mouse... Minutaglio and Davis are
superb storytellers, and throughout the narrative, they nimbly move
between their two converging subjects. Their account is expertly
detailed and blessedly fat-free."--Kirkus (Starred Review)
"A vivid evocation of a raucous time in recent American
history."--Shelf Awareness
"A vivid, eye-opening alternate view of an especially bizarre
period of American history...Far too strange to be fiction, the
book brilliantly details an American tragedy of two men, each of
whom considered the other to be the most dangerous man in
America."--p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 14.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px

Sacred Journeys
"Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis weave a riveting tale that
will keep readers on the edge of their seats."--Bookish
"Can you dig it? In their wild new book, authors Bill Minutaglio
and Steven L. Davis...have crafted a hopped-up, sometimes risibly
over-the-top narrative that...delivers an outlandish concoction of
twists, turns and international intrigue."--Newsday
"Fascinating...rigorously researched...[THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN
AMERICA] offers the pleasures of the tick-tock genre. Much like
Leary himself, the book is plenty of zany fun."--The New York
Times
"It's a rollicking tale that brings to life the antic atmosphere of
America in the 'Me Decade.'"--Wall Street Journal
"One of the decade's most audacious and exciting stories, told with
page-turning panache."--The Boston Globe
"Our intrepid authors, pounding the present tense like the brake
pedal on a runaway 18-wheeler, narrate a story more wild,
inventive, and sex-drenched than a Dennis Hopper movie."--p.p1

Classic
"The glory of [THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA] is its
fast-paced, rollicking narrative that brings the freakishness of
the revolutionary 1970s to life. Bill Minutaglio and Steven L.
Davis have pulled off a meticulous observation of their subjects
with turns of phrases that pop with pleasure. I galloped through
the book; could not put it down."--Jan Jarboe Russell, New York
Times bestselling author of The Train to Crystal City
"THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA is a wild ride across time,
space, and multiple cosmic planes during an era when America came
close to losing -- or finding? -- its mind. Leary and Nixon: surely
no other country on earth could have produced such a perfectly,
surreally antithetical pair. Crack open this book and prepare to
have your mind blown by the reality of this very strange
tale."--Ben Fountain, PEN/Hemingway and O. Henry Prize-winning
author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk and Brief Encounters with
Che Guevara: Stories
