Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:The late Thompson's inimitable style of "gonzo" journalism was on
full display in this series of articles originally written for and
serialized in Rolling Stone magazine, covering the 1972 Democratic
presidential primaries through the subsequent blowout defeat of
Senator McGovern by President Nixon (which greatly demoralized
Thompson, a supporter of McGovern from early in the primaries). While
reporting on campaign events, Thompson never bothered to hide his
disdain for much of the American political process or for the
mainstream media's treatment of American politics. As with others of
Thompson's books, illustrations by Ralph Steadman accompany the text;
unfortunately their reproduction (and that of the photographs) in
this edition is poorer that fans of Steadman might have hoped. This
is a reprint of the 1983 book.
