Thompson.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, this second volume of Thompson's private correspondence is the highly anticipated follow-up to \u003ci\u003eThe Proud Highway\u003c\/i\u003e. When that first book of letters appeared in 1997, Time pronounced it \"deliriously entertaining\";\u003ci\u003e Rolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e called it \"brilliant beyond description\"; and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e celebrated its \"wicked humor and bracing political conviction.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Spanning the years between 1968 and 1976, these never-before-published letters show Thompson building his legend: running for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado; creating the seminal road book \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e; twisting political reporting to new heights for \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e; and making sense of it all in the landmark \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72\u003c\/i\u003e. To read Thompson's dispatches from these years--addressed to the author's friends, enemies, editors, and creditors, and such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut--is to read a raw, revolutionary eyewitness account of one of the most exciting and pivotal eras in American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunter S.
