The 50th anniversary edition of โthe best account yet published of what it feels like to be out there in the middle of the American political processโ (The New York Times Book Review) featuring a new foreword from Johnny Knoxville.
A half-century after its original publication, Hunter S. Thompsonโs Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail โ72 remains a cornerstone of American political journalism and one of the bestselling campaign books of all time. Thompsonโs searing account of the battle for the 1972 presidencyโfrom the Democratic primaries to the eventual showdown between George McGovern and Richard Nixonโis infused with the characteristic wit, intensity, and emotional engagement that made Thompson โthe flamboyant apostle and avatar of gonzo journalismโ (The New York Times). Hilarious, terrifying, insightful, and compulsively readable, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail โ72 is an epic political adventure that captures the feel of the American democratic process better than any other book ever writtenโand that is just as relevant to the many ills and issues roiling the nation today. As Johnny Knoxville writes in his foreword to this 50th anniversary edition: โHunter predicted it all.โ
