Thompson’s extraordi­nary life he was publicly branded a bum, a vandal, a thief, a liar, an addict, a freak, and a psychopath. Some of which were true. Yet even when compared to the most significant figures of the 20th century, his legacy retains a brilliantly vital force. The great American writer, the great American iconoclast, the great American hedonist—however you choose to view him, Thompson remains the high-water mark for all social commentators worldwide, and a truly fearless champion of individual liberties. This is his story, the story of a troubled kid from Louisville who went on to become an international icon. A story that plumbs the darkest depths of American society and charts the now legendary adventures that birthed Gonzo Journalism, \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e, and a lifestyle beyond imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eGonzo\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e“I was attracted to its bright orange cover and the drawing of the long-legged Thompson clutching a satchel, running away from something.
