Description
The best, the fastest, the hippest and the most unorthodox account ever published of the US presidential electoral process in all its madness and corruption.
In 1972, Hunter S. Thompson, the creator and king of Gonzo journalism, covered the US presidential campaign for Rolling Stone magazine alongside the establishment newsmen of Washington. The result is a classic piece of subversive reportage and a fantastic ride on the rollercoaster of Hunter’s uniquely savage imagination. In his own words, written years before Watergate: ‘It is Nixon himself who represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character almost every other country in the world has learned to fear and despise.’

Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72 is praised for its unique and candid style, offering an insightful and raw portrayal of the 1972 presidential campaign. It's described as creatively chaotic and refreshingly unconventional, reflecting Thompson's distinctive voice and approach. Critics highlight its capacity to both shock and entertain, comparing its impact to artistic movements like Cubism, where traditional boundaries are challenged.
