<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the second of a three-volume collection of the never-before-published letters of the creator of Gonzo journalism, one of the great literary icons of our time presents a truly raw, revolutionary, eyewitness account of the years from 1968 to 1976. Photos throughout.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the king of "Gonzo" journalism and bestselling author who brought you <i>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas</i> comes another astonishing volume of letters by Hunter S. Thompson.</b> <p/>Brazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, this second volume of Thompson's private correspondence is the highly anticipated follow-up to <i>The Proud Highway</i>. When that first book of letters appeared in 1997, Time pronounced it deliriously entertaining; Rolling Stone called it brilliant beyond description; and <i>The New York Times</i> celebrated its wicked humor and bracing political conviction. <p/>Spanning the years between 1968 and 1976, these never-before-published letters show Thompson building his legend: running for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado; creating the seminal road book <i>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas</i>; twisting political reporting to new heights for <i>Rolling Stone</i>; and making sense of it all in the landmark <i>Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72</i>. To read Thompson's dispatches from these years--addressed to the author's friends, enemies, editors, and creditors, and such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut--is to read a raw, revolutionary eyewitness account of one of the most exciting and pivotal eras in American history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Christopher Buckley <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> Reading Hunter Thompson is like using gasoline for aftershave -- bracing.<br>
