Great Shark Hunt (Gonzo Papers)

About this book

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
