Generation of Swine: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist

From the bestselling author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the legendary Hunter S. Thompsonâ€™s second volume of the â€œGonzo Papersâ€ is back. Generation of Swine collects hundreds of columns from the infamous journalistâ€™s 1980s tenure at the San Francisco Examiner.

Here, against a backdrop of late-night tattoo sessions and soldier-of-fortune trade shows, Dr. Thompson is at his apocalyptic bestâ€•covering emblematic events such as the 1987-88 presidential campaign, with Vice President George Bush, Sr., fighting for his life against Republican competitors like Alexander Haig, Pat Buchanan, and Pat Robertson; detailing the GOP's obsession with drugs and drug abuse; while at the same time capturing momentous social phenomena as they occurred, like the rise of cable, satellite TV, and CNNâ€•24 hours of mainline news. Showcasing his inimitable talent for social and political analysis, Generation of Swine is vintage Thompsonâ€•eerily prescient, incisive, and enduring.
