Summary
Summary
After popularizing Gonzo journalism with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson turned his drug-fueled wit and savage insight to the race for President. With On the Campaign Trail '72, Thompson deconstructs the 1972 campaigns of George McGovern and Richard Nixon, laying bare a political process that is both seductive and utterly repellent. " . some of the clearest, most bracing and fearless analysis of the possibilities and failures of American democracy in the past century."-Chicago TribuneEditorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Some of the clearest, most bracing, and fearless analysis of the possibilities and failures of American democracy in the past century.” —Chicago Tribune
“The best stuff on the campaign I’ve read anywhere.”
—Nicholas von Hoffman, Washington Post
“Obscene, horrid, repellent! Driving, urgent, candid, searing! A fascinating, compelling book!”
—New York Post
“Hunter S. Thompson is the most creatively crazy and vulnerable of the New Journalists. His books are brilliant and honorable and valuable! The literary equivalent of Cubism: all rules are broken.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
“Gaze in awe! Hunter Thompson does in his own mad way betray a profound democratic concern for the polity. And in its own mad way, it’s darned refreshing.”
—New York Times
Author
Author Bio: Hunter S. Thompson
Hunter S. Thompson (1937–2005) was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. His books on politics and society were regarded as groundbreaking among journalists, and he was celebrated as one of the early practitioners of an outraged, irreverent form of highly subjective journalism that became known as gonzo journalism. His numerous articles for Rolling Stone and books like Hell’s Angels and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas brought him wide recognition and cultlike status.
