It usually begins with Ayn Rand por Jerome Tuccille
This is a memoir or rather an odyssey of sorts about the road taken by many in the 1960s in their search for an alternative to traditional politics. It is those who were inspired by the novels of Ayn Rand and sought alternatives that allowed more individual freedom. In Tucille's case that led to a sort of radical libertarianism bordering on anarchism.
