Great Shark Hunt (Gonzo Papers)

Great Shark Hunt (Gonzo Papers) by Thompson, Hunter S.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780345374820.

America, with all its warts, lies naked under the laser-like scrutiny of legendary outlaw journalist and brilliant reporter Hunter S. Thompson. Fearlessly, he hurls himself into each assignment, gouges out the truth, then returns with a fresh story no one else on earth could write. From Nixon to napalm, Las Vegas to Watergate, Carter to cocaine, hippies to himself, Thompsons razor-sharp insight and crystal clarity capture the crazy, hypocritical, degenerate, and redeeming aspects of the explosive and colorful 60s and 70s. Thompson is a rebel and an artist, and we are all richer for it. "No other reporter reveals how much we have to fear and loathe, yet does it so hilariously." -- Chicago Tribune
