Fear and Loathing in America - The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist 1968-1976 (Paperback, New edition)

Hunter Thompson is one of the great rebel journalists of the modern USA, a man who has bent all the rules time and again. This second volume of his letters, plus a few articles, covers the period from the 1968 to 1976, and includes publication of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Great Shark Hunt and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail. There are letters to friends, editors and public figures, all of them equally impassioned and often very lengthy. A dynamic insight into a stormy era. (Kirkus UK)

A compilation of letters written between 1968 and 1976, sent from gonzo king Hunter S. Thompson to his friends, enemies, editors and creditors, including Jimmy Carter, Ralph Steadman, Tom Wolfe and Kurt Vonnegut. As well as an eyewitness account of political and social history in America, the letters are a fascinating glimpse of the inner workings of this unique author.
