To Live Outside the Law: Caught by Operation Julie, Britain’s Biggest Drugs Bust

To Live Outside the Law is the first insider account of the LSD conspiracy ended by Operation Julie, Britain’s biggest drug bust. The book opens with Leaf Fielding’s arrest in a pre-dawn police raid and ends five years later with his release from jail.

The narrative moves back and forth between the harsh world of prison and his previous life – from a childhood at a brutal boarding school onto undergraduate days and his LSD epiphany in the summer of love, 1967.

Acid transformed him in an instant from nerdy scholar to footloose freak. His ten years of adventures in the hippie underground gave the title to this book – a quote from a Bob Dylan song – they also took him across Europe, to the Andes, to Indochina and on to the edge of the known universe. They also led inexorably to his downfall.

《在法律之外生活》是英国最大的一次缉毒行动朱莉行动结束的第一个关于LSD阴谋的内部报道。这本书以利夫·菲尔丁在黎明前的一次警察突袭中被捕开始，五年后以他从监狱获释结束。

故事在严酷的监狱世界和他的前世生活之间来回穿梭，从童年在一所残酷的寄宿学校到大学时代，再到1967年夏天他对LSD的顿悟。

酸在一瞬间把他从书呆子变成了自由自在的怪人。他在嬉皮士地下十年的冒险经历给这本书起了个名字，引用了鲍勃·迪伦的一首歌。这首歌还把他带到了欧洲各地，去了安第斯山脉，去了印度支那，还去了已知宇宙的边缘。他们也无情地导致了他的垮台。
