by Hunter S. Thompson


Review this book!

This highly amusing memoir of the 1960s and '70s by gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson chronicles the highs and lows of his life with drugs and includes such surprising episodes as his brief career in the U. S. Air Force and his failed bid to become sheriff of Aspen, Colorado. He also includes his thoughts on more contemporary matters, such as George W. Bush and terrorism.

Publisher Notes

The personal story of the author of Fear and Loathing in America profiles him as a rebel and non-conformist, describing his early days as a smart-mouthed Kentucky kid, his law-breaking journalism, his campaign for sheriff of Aspen on the Freak Power ticket, and his experience in the riots at the Democratic Convention in Chicago.
