From the legendary journalist and creator of '€œGonzo'€ journalism Hunter S. Thompson comes the bestselling critical look at Nixon and McGovern'€™s 1972 presidential election. Forty years after its original publication, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '€™72 remains a cornerstone of American political journalism and one of the bestselling campaign books of all time. Hunter S. Thompson'€™s searing account of the battle for the 1972 presidency'€”from the Democratic primaries to the eventual showdown between George McGovern and Richard Nixon'€”is infused with the characteristic wit, intensity, and emotional engagement that made Thompson '€œthe flamboyant apostle and avatar of gonzo journalism'€ (The New York Times). Hilarious, terrifying, insightful, and compulsively readable, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '€™72 is an epic political adventure that captures the feel of the American democratic process better than any other book ever written.
