Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72 may be his most important work in terms of political insight. It's almost stunning how on point his criticisms of the relationships between politicians and the media 50 years ago are and continue to ring true. I feel like it's a pretty important book for anyone with interest in American politics.
I read it the first time right around 9/11, and I still have it on my shelf. Feels like a good time to dust it off....
I'm from Europe, but I defo enjoyed deep diving into that topic thanks to HST. :)
