Forty years after its original publication, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail �72 remains a cornerstone of American political journalism and one of the bestselling campaign books of all time. Hunter S. Thompson�s searing account of the battle for the 1972 presidency�from the Democratic primaries to the eventual showdown between George McGovern and Richard Nixon�is infused with the characteristic wit, intensity, and emotional engagement that made Thompson �the flamboyant apostle and avatar of gonzo journalism� (The New York Times). Hilarious, terrifying, insightful, and compulsively readable, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail �72 is an epic political adventure that captures the feel of the American democratic process better than any other book ever written.
