Thompson, being a Gonzo journalist means doing whatever it takes to get to the truth; everything from dropping acid with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters in the 60s, to participating in wild orgies and getting his nose broken while chronicling life with the Hell's Angels, to founding the Freak Power Party and running for sheriff of Aspen in 1970. A virtual icon, Thompson has regularly trashed the prime directives of reporting--accuracy and objectivity--yet he nonetheless always produces some of the sharpest political and cultural analysis around.

New art by Ralph Steadman and over 20 black-and-white photographs are featured."--BOOK COVER".
