Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

From the legendary journalist and creator of â€œGonzoâ€ journalism Hunter S. Thompson comes the bestselling critical look at Nixon and McGovernâ€™s 1972 presidential election.

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