Thompson, comes the definitive collection of the journalist's finest work from \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing at Rolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e showcases the roller-coaster of a career at the magazine that was his literary home.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Buy the ticket, take the ride,\" was a favorite slogan of Hunter S. Thompson, and it pretty much defined both his work and his life. Jann S. Wenner, the outlaw journalist's friend and editor for nearly thirty-five years, has assembled articles--and a wealth of never- before-seen correspondence and internal memos from Hunter's storied tenure at \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e--that begin with Thompson's infamous run for sheriff of Aspen on the Freak Party ticket in 1970 and end with his final piece on the Bush-Kerry showdown of 2004. In between is Thompson's remarkable coverage of the 1972 presidential campaign and plenty of attention paid to Richard Nixon; encounters with Muhammad Ali, Bill Clinton, and the Super Bowl; and a lengthy excerpt from his acknowledged masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e. The definitive volume of Hunter S. Thompson's work published in the magazine, \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing at Rolling Stone \u003c\/i\u003etraces the evolution of a personal and professional relationship that helped redefine modern American journalism, presenting Thompson through a new prism as he pursued his lifelong obsession: The life and death of the American Dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunter S.
