It is also the tale of a long weekend road trip that has gone down in the annals of American pop culture as one of the strangest journeys ever undertaken. <p/>Also a major motion picture directed by Terry Gilliam, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hunter S. Thompson (July 18, 1937 -- February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author.

His books include <i>Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga</i> (1966), <i>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream</i> (1972), <i>Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72</i> (1973); <i>The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time</i> (1979); <i>The Curse of Lono</i>(1983); <i>Generation of Swine, Gonzo Papers Vol. 2: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the 80's</i> (1988); and <i>Songs of the Doomed</i> (1990).
