Thompson, Hunter S.

Collected in this volume is the best of 'Gonzo'. From Private Thompson in trouble with the air force, to the devastating portrait of the ageing Muhammad Ali. Taking in the Kentucky Derby, Freak Power in the Rockies, Nixon in '68, and much more. It is a compendium of decadence, depravity and horse...

In this memoir, Hunter S. Thompson looks back over decades of fast living, hard drinking and sharp writing. It is a story of crazed road trips fuelled by bourbon and black acid, of insane judges and giant porcupines, of girls, guns, explosives and, of course, bikes.
