About this listen
Berlin, 1945. Following the fall of the Third Reich, drug use — long kept under control by the Nazis' strict anti-drug laws — is rampant throughout the city. In the American sector, Arthur J. Giuliani of the nascent Federal Bureau of Narcotics is tasked with learning about the Nazis' drug policies and bringing home anything that might prove 'useful'.
Five years later, Harvard professor Dr Henry Beecher begins work with the US government to uncover the research behind the Nazis' psychedelics programme. Originally created for medical purposes by Dr Albert Hofmann, the Nazis coopted LSD to experiment with mind control and find a 'truth serum' - research that the US, particularly the CIA, is desperate to acquire.
Based on extensive archival research, Tripped is a wild, unconventional post-war history, a spiritual sequel to Norman Ohler's bestselling Blitzed. Revealing the hidden connections between the Nazis and the CIA's notorious brainwashing experimentation program, MKUltra, Ohler shares how this secret history held back the therapeutic research of psychedelic drugs for decades as the West sought to turn LSD into a weapon.

the research gone into the story
the narrator was very difficult to listen to and the accents they did were terrible making it very difficult to be engaged with the incredible research done by Norman

Awesome book, terrible narrator
It's a real shame the narrator is so bad because the book is incredible. The narrator sounds like a robot and it's very clear in the places where edits have been made. Alexa would have done a better job narrating this book.

most interesting book ruined by narrator
was looking forward to this. managed only 50mins. the narrating is terrible, the accent changes are cringe. hopefully someone else will just read it, as its not a novel and doesn't need that much emotion.
shame i can't get a refund.
