	Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 1972 is a collection of articles covering the 1972 presidential campaign serialized in Rolling Stone magazine and later released as a book, written by gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson and illustrated by Ralph Steadman.
		Thompson began his coverage of the campaign in December 1971, just as the race toward the primaries was beginning, from his rented apartment in Washington, DC (a situation he compared to "living in an armed camp, a condition of constant fear").
		Journalist Timothy Crouse wrote a memoir called “The Boys on the Bus” that critically analyzes the coverage of the '72 presidential campaign, and is often a standard text in university journalism courses.

	Fear and Loathing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fear and Loathing was the original published title of Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson's iconic 1971 work Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, as it first appeared in the pages of Rolling Stone.
		Since the republication of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in stand-alone book form, it has become Thompson's most famous work, and the piece of literature most often associated with the title Fear and Loathing; subsequently, the term has become colloquial shorthand for the book's full title.

		Some of Thompson's other books include Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, a collection of Rolling Stone articles he wrote while covering the campaigns of President Richard M.

	United States presidential election, 1972 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Wallace, the popular segregationist governor of Alabama, ran a race-based campaign for the Democratic nomination, but saw his chances for nomination end when he was shot in May. The Democratic nomination was eventually won by George McGovern who ran an anti-war campaign against incumbent President Richard M. Nixon.
		What could have become a forceful campaign was cut short when Wallace was shot and left paralyzed in an assassination attempt while campaigning in Laurel, Maryland.
		Nixon ran a harsh campaign with an aggressive policy of keeping tabs on perceived enemies, and his campaign aides committed the Watergate burglary to steal Democratic Party information during the election.

		"Fear and Loathing" runs month by month from December, 1971, when Thompson began campaign coverage in Washington, through the Democratic primaries, both conventions and on past the election.
		Unlike Theodore White's regular reports, which have become as much a part of the electoral institution as the inauguration, "Fear and Loathing" is obviously not an exercise in objective, analytic contemporary history.
		What Thompson does know, however, is that whatever the campaign procedures, the White House will continue to loom in the imagination of power- addicted men as the glassine-bagged white powder does in the imagination of the junkie.

	Etude \| Autumn 2004 \| Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 - Hunter S. Thompson
		Campaign Trail ’72 is often described as a wild, rambling narrative.
		Campaign Trail ’72 was Thompson’s third book, following 1966’s Hell’s Angles and 1971’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and helped cement his reputation as a talented if not aberrant member of America’s nonfiction literati.
		While not a breakthrough presidential campaign exposé – that honor belongs to McGinniss’s The Selling of the President – Thompson’s year-long immersion accounting of the hypocrisy, hysteria and hyperbole of the American political campaign machine should be required reading for all registered voters.

		To survive the campaign trip, Hunter was compelled to fortify himself with a steady and variegated diet of drugs and alcohol, including “Reds,” Ballantine Ale, Ibogaine, Speed, Grass, Wild Turkey.
		Most people on the campaign trail, we are told, rely on one substance or another - even it means crushing up seven aspirins into a glass of Coke, which is actually not bad, by the way, if you're looking for something new.
		And one is tempted to draw parallels regarding the dynamics of both the '72 and 2004 campaigns, between Senators Kerry and McGovern, the pressures to move to the center, the Gulf of Tonkin vs. the Iraqi resolution, the trendy logic of the Beating Nixon and Beating Bush mantras.

		'Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72' is a fantastic journey through a spectacle which grips the U.S. every four years.
		'Campaign Trail '72' doesn't have the same constant flow of wacky, laugh-out-loud humour and outrageous anecdotes as some of HST's other works, but then HST wrote this book as part of a year-long assignment to cover the Presidential campaign, not a week-long bender at the Kentucky Derby.
		He reveals some of the underhand and downright corrupt tactics of the candidates and their entourages, the fickle nature of the electorate's support, the decisive role of the media in an election, and the importance of 'perception'.

		Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the book that has been made into a couple of movies, but the book that, in my opinion, is Thompson’s masterpiece is Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72.
		I’ve read a lot about political campaigns over the years, but I’ve never read anything as insightful or that cut to the heart of the matter the way Thompson did.
		Thompson notes somewhere in the book that the reporters on the campaign trail had heard the candidate’s stump speech so many times that they could recite it by heart, and if even a word changed, they noticed.

		It was published in 1966 and established him as one of the shining new stars of the New Journalism movement of the '60s that included Tom Wolfe, but he refused to be pigeon-holed and carved out with his own unique vision.

	"Kingdom of Fear" by Hunter S. Thompson - Salon
		Hunter S. Thompson's best books, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72," were, more than Tom Wolfe's or anyone else's, the best gauges of the pulse of those times.
		Thompson's "Fear and Loathing" books evoke the '70s the way Fitzgerald and Hemingway evoked the '20s.
		The problem with "Kingdom of Fear," and in fact the problem with nearly everything that Thompson has written over the last quarter of a century or so, is that the path hit a dead end.

	BookPage Nonfiction Review: Trail Fever
		Alternately hilarious, sad and downright bizarre, "Trail Fever" takes elements of political reporting classics like "The Boys on the Bus" and "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" and brings the whole long, strange trip into the '90s with skill, substance and all-too-true satire.
		After reading "Trail Fever," the question that Lewis wants us to ask ourselves is why would anyone want this job enough to put themselves (and the American people) through the utter hell of the modern campaign where people act in ways that would be ridiculed under any other circumstance?
		We may not have the answer -- but "Trail Fever" is at least one wildly entertaining and insightful guidebook.

		is bursting with primary sources references that constitute a paper trail of official treachery, exposing in fl and white the arrogant, deceptive, exploitative juggernaut that is the Bush administration.
		A right-wing regime wrangles its way into power by means barely legitimate under its country's constitution, exploits public fear to increase its popularity, and plots military distractions abroad while it erodes civil liberties and democratic institutions at home.
		Its leader is an arrogant ideologue with a penchant for delegating authority and taking long vacations; but much of its real power is concentrated in the hands of a prim, prudish man with a repressed childhood and a genteel public persona that conceals a vicious mean streak.

		The 66-year-old Thompson, who’s mellowed — somewhat — is still hobbled by a cast on the leg he broke in a recent fall in his hotel room in Hawaii.
		Thompson took up Auman’s cause because he believes she was wrongly convicted after police stopped a stolen car driven by her companion, a 25-year-old white supremacist high on drugs, who killed a police officer and then committed suicide.
		Thompson campaigned to have Auman’s case reviewed by the Colorado Supreme Court, which is expected to decide soon if she should have been charged with a less serious crime because she was handcuffed and sitting in a police cruiser at the time of the shooting.

		He experienced politics on its highest level, and was so disenchanted by the system that he turned legitimate political assignments into exposes on the corruption imbedded in the process, which in Thompson’s mind was embodied by Richard Nixon.
		Thompson described Nixon as a person who, “could shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time.” Thompson wrote a book on his coverage of the 1972 presidential campaign that ended with a Nixon landslide victory over George McGovern titled, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail of ‘72.
		Thompson went on to write for the Rolling Stone, and he composed Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail of ‘72 while working for the magazine.

	Hunter S Thompson: More fear and loathing on the campaign trail
		His title is a self-awarded doctorate in Gonzo journalism, the term he invented to describe his drug-fuelled, often sublime pieces in which abuse and profanity are as common as love and redemption in the Gospel of St John.
		In what remains his best-known work, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, first published in Rolling Stone 33 years ago, brilliantly enlivened by Steadman's illustrations, the writer took the Wodehousian bachelor's blithe and adventurous attitude to alcohol and extended it to LSD and munitions.
		This call is from Laila Nabulsi, producer of Terry Gilliam's 1997 film of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Thompson's partner for five years in the early 1980s.

		The days of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 and The Great Shark Hunt, books that instructed a generation in the power of free-range journalism, are distant.
		That Thompson's books have continued to sell after 1985's Generation of Swine is attributable chiefly to the legend of his decadence, established by 1971's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and bloating steadily ever since.
		Nevertheless, you suspect the real Kingdom of Fear is not the post-September 11 era, but is bounded by the man himself.

		The first book I'd like to recommend to all of you, especially those of you grievers, is Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's Fear And Loathing: On The Campaign Trail '72, Doc Gonzo's month by month recollection of the 1972 presidential campaign that saw George McGovern take it up the ass by Richard Nixon.
		For those of you who've never read anything by Thompson, his style of writing is brutally honest and laced with the ramblings of a burnt out, drug and booze addicted ex-hippie, which, coupled with his bizarre appearance on the campaign trail, makes for compelling reading.
		The 1972 election has a lot in common to this year's disaster: there was an unpopular war raging, the left thought the sitting president was the anti-Christ, and the anti-Christ won by a large margin, fueled by "the silent majority".
