Publisher's Summary

An iconic and controversial figure in American literature, Hunter S. Thompson displayed a brilliance that forever changed journalism. Thompson’s follow-up to The Proud Highway, this second volume of private, never-before-published letters spans the years 1968 through 1976. Addressed to such luminaries as Tom Wolfe, Kurt Vonnegut, and Jimmy Carter, this incisive collection showcases Thompson’s raw and starkly honest thoughts on a pivotal era in U.S. history.

for any Thompson fan who maybe out there, I can promise you that this is close to as coherent as it comes. insightful look at the 72 election run.

Did you think it was over when Hillary lost?

Start with his description of the Nixon rally at the start of chapter 39, and stay for the parallels to Hillary v. Trump. Listen to the whole thing just for that Hunter S. freestyle. It's all good.
