About

Few people knew Hunter S. Thompson as well as Ralph Steadman did. Their long friendship gave birth to what became known as gonzo journalism. This no-holds-barred memoir tells of their unique collaboration that documented the turbulent years of the '60s and '70s in a friendship defined by both betrayal and understanding.

Reviews

"Steadman genuinely admires his friend's writing but examines his character with clear-eyed honesty and corrects the record as he sees fit…Funny and-unlike his subject-dry."
Booklist  
"It is fairly amazing that these two could get away with having so much fun, on expense accounts no less, in the name of journalism."
