About This Item
Synopsis
Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century is a memoir by Hunter S. Thompson, a collection of parables and his outlandish adventures. We learn more about his run-ins with authority, his time in the Air Force, and the beginning of his Gonzo journalistic career. Thompson shares insights on his unsuccessful bid for Sheriff of Aspen, Colorado in 1970, and comments on the problems caused by the ineffectual War on Terror. "The prevailing quality of life in America--by any accepted methods of measuring--was inarguably freer and more politically open under Nixon than it is today in this evil year of Our Lord 2002."
