Brian Barritt's "The Road Of Excess" is a psychedelic history of epic proportions. It spans the period between the late 1950's 'Beat' generation and the busting of the biggest LSD ring in Europe at the end of the 1970's (Operation Julie). Character portraits include; Timothy and Rosemary Leary, Eldridge Cleaver, members of the notorious "Brotherhood of Eternal Love", and numerous shooting stars of the '60s.
