Between the Lines of Men

Between the Lines of Men is a work of literary fiction following Don Freemont,
a young upstart psychologist during the 1950s who is obsessed with leaving behind an academic legacy. Don is one of the heads of Project MKUltra, a project sanctioned by the United States government in conjunction with Stanford University in which psychoactive chemicals such as LSD are tested as weapons of war.
When one of Don's subjects commits suicide, Washington grows weary of Don's antics and demands to view his experiment. With his future and legacy in mind, Don ends up becoming his own guinea pig. After a hellish vision, Don comes to the epiphany that he is responsible for the death of his subject and can no longer take part in the project. His ego still clinging to life, Don sets out from Stanford with intentions of forging a new legacy.
