Hunter S. Thompson returns with another impressive volume of private correspondence, the sequel to "The Proud Highway".

Covering the years 1968 to 1976, these letters published for the first time show Thompson building his legendary reputation: a candidate for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado, creating the definitive road book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", elevating political journalism for Rolling Stone, and interpreting all of this in the landmark "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72".

Reading Thompson's correspondence from these years - addressed to writers, friends, foes, editors, and creditors, as well as personalities like Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut - is a raw, revolutionary testament to one of the most thrilling and defining eras in American history.
