"Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age" is a groundbreaking and thought-provoking book that unravels the fascinating and little-known history of the relationship between Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the early days of the psychedelic movement. Author Stephen Sutin delves into the lesser-known archives to reveal the surprising connections between the two seemingly disparate entities.

As the Nazi regime sought to stay ahead of the Allies during World War II, they embarked on secret experiments with LSD and other mind-altering substances to enhance the performance of their soldiers and agents. The CIA, meanwhile, was equally interested in the potential applications of psychedelic compounds for intelligence gathering and psychological warfare.

Sutin's comprehensive and engaging narrative follows the trails of the Nazi scientists, the CIA agents, and the countercultural figures who bridged the two worlds. From the clandestine projects to the rise of the underground psychedelic movement, "Tripped" is a thrilling tale of espionage, innovation, and subversion.

Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Sutin lays bare the compelling and often disturbing history of the marriage between Nazi Germany and the CIA, and how it paved the way for the dawn of the psychedelic age. "Tripped" is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of history, science, and culture, and the ways in which the pursuit of knowledge can lead to unexpected and far-reaching consequences.
