The second volume of Hunter S. Thompson's legendary 'Gonzo Papers'.

Thompson at his revealing best – covering iconic events from the 1980s.

In this collection of columns written for the San Francisco Examiner, Hunter S. Thompson explores the Swine of the Week with his signature explosive energy and revealing political perspective. From the Erotic Film Awards in Los Angeles to immigrant raids, almost the entire War, and his Caligulan disappointment with televangelists, ‘Dr Gonzo’ diagnoses the ‘big brains, thin necks, weak muscles, and fat wallets’ of the worst of the worst in American New Politics – crazy gamblers, hostile cabin personnel, and a very elderly president – an entire generation of pigs.

This moment in the late '80s offers a prophetic glimpse into the making of today’s America. With a flair for showbiz as in the Book of Revelation, Thompson risks everything remaining of his immortal soul to delve deep into the strange, subterranean world of Reagan’s White House. After all, he is a professional.
