    In 1972 Hunter S. Thompson the creator and king of Gonzo journalism covered the US presidential campaign for Rolling Stone magazine alongside the establishment newsmen of Washington. The result is a classic piece of subversive reportage and a fantastic ride on the rollercoaster of Hunter's uniquely savage imagination. In his own words written years before Watergate: "It is Nixon himself who represents that dark venal and incurably violent side of the American character almost every other country in the world has learned to fear and despise." ; "The best stuff on the campaign I've read anywhere." - Nicholas Von Hoffman Washington Post ; "Obscene horrid repellent - driving urgent candid searing - a fascinating compelling book!" - New York Post ; "Hunter S. Thompson is the most creatively crazy and vulnerable of the New Journalists. His books are brilliant and honorable and valuable - the literary equivalent of Cubism: all rules are broken." - Kurt Vonnegut Jr ; "Gaze in awe - Hunter Thompson does in his own mad way betray a profound democratic concern for the polity. And in its own mad way it's darned refreshing." - New York Times ; "Shocks you into laughter." - Detroit Free Press ; "Unnerving!" - Newsweek
