Brilliant

From acid induced mind control to covert operations in Cuba, from a missing nuclear weapon to mass hallucinations, Shift runs a gamut that your inner conspiracu theorist will find delightful and provocative... reading Shift is like fighting a featherweight boxer. Always moving, constantly on its toes, it peppers you with small punches until, eventually, you succumb and it delivers the knockout. But oh, what a fight, and certainly one that is enjoyable and frentetic from start to finish... For an engaging romp through the 60s that never were, look no further than Shift

It's saddening, angering and informative stuff
