Summary of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 When a man gives up drugs, he wants big fires in his life. I have ordered more speakers to go with my new McIntosh amp, and a fifty watt boombox for the FM car radio.

#2 The District of Columbia has become the Rape Capital of the World. Meanwhile, things like burglaries, street muggings, and random assaults are so common that they are no longer considered news.

#3 I arrived in Washington, D. C. , not long after dawn, when the city was mostly asleep. I was hauling a huge orange U-haul trailer full of books and papers. I was slow and helpless because the Volvo wasn’t made for this kind of work.

#4 The author was asked to help drum up cash for a venture that would shuttle cars between Detroit, Toledo, and Cleveland. He was told that he could make a fortune if he could gather enough money to set up a shuttle service. He was curious about the two men who were waiting for help, so he went back to check on them.
